[Issue 125232] New: Unicode Chars with 5-hex-digit Codes Not
Displayed in Writer, Even with Supportive Font (works in WordPad)
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=125232
Issue ID: 125232
Issue Type: DEFECT
Summary: Unicode Chars with 5-hex-digit Codes Not Displayed in
Writer, Even with Supportive Font (works in WordPad)
Product: Writer
Version: 3.4.0
Hardware: PC
OS: Windows XP
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: editing
Assignee: issues@openoffice.apache.org
Reporter: jburrill@gmail.com
I’m submitting this problem report to both OpenOffice and LibreOffice.
To perform these steps, you will need to have Tahoma and Lucida Sans Unicode
fonts (common) and EITHER Symbola font OR both FreeSerif font and Segoe UI
Symbol font. (While the latter are not as common, they are available for
free).
1. The six test lines below all begin with a Unicode character followed by text
which describes the character. Copy the six lines into a WordPad document and
change the font for the lines to Tahoma. Note that only the Unicode character
in the second line (sharp sign) is displayed.
2. Next change the font of all six lines to Lucida Sans Unicode. Note that now
the first two Unicode characters (flat and sharp) are displayed.
3. Now -either- change the last four lines to Symbola -or- change the middle
two lines to FreeSerif and the last two lines to Segoe UI Symbol. Note that
now all the Unicode characters are displayed correctly.
The first three steps have demonstrated the correct behavior. I would expect
the same behavior in OpenOffice Writer and LibreOffice Writer.
4. But now repeat the same three steps in either version of “Writer.” Note
that the Unicode characters in the last four lines are never displayed
correctly.
5. Now change the last four lines to OpenSymbol font. Note that this still
doesn’t help...
It seems that this happens with any 5-hex-digit Unicode character which is
supported by a font like Symbola, FreeSerif or Segoe Symbol UI in WordPad.
(Related LibreOffice Bug 71603 appears to be just one instance of this general
problem with 5-hex-digit Unicode characters.)
I haven’t tried it in MS Word, but I’d assume that if it works in WordPad, it
will work in Word.

Looks like Bugzilla has a bug. It cuts off text where a 5-hex-digit Unicode
character is used. So for the six test lines I'm attaching a text file
6TestLines.txt
