How to obtain a Unicode charecter by using its decimal code ? -- Quy

The simplest way is to split the 16 bits into its component 2 bytes: +U1ED5 -> \uchar{"1E}{"D5} -> \uchar{30}{213}. --Adam 20:07, 1 Jan 2005 (CET)

After loading Vietnamese UTF8 (your description) I try:

\starttext
\uchar{30}{160} % 1EA0
\stoptext

But there is error:

kpathsea: Running mktextfm UnicodeRegular1e /work/apps/tetex/share/texmf/web2c/mktexnam: Could not map source abbreviation U for UnicodeRegular1e. /work/apps/tetex/share/texmf/web2c/mktexnam: Need to update /work/apps/tetex/share/texmf-dist/fonts/map/fontname/special.map? mktextfm: Running mf-nowin -progname=mf \mode:=ljfour; mag:=1; nonstopmode; input UnicodeRegular1e This is METAFONT, Version 2.71828 (Web2C 7.5.4)

?

Any ideas ? Thanks. Quy
