Right, and those variables I mentioned also tell me these symbols. However,
my problem is, even with this list of symbols, I have no idea
which one I should use. I know `han' is for CJK, and I can guess `tamil'
is for
tamil. But some of them are difficult to guess. For example, which
characters
does `cjk-misc' represent? How is it distinct from `han'?
Moreover, sometimes I get characters fail to display, but don't know
which script
I should use. I would expand this for your another reply.
