Right you are, Laura -- thanks.  I'll have to post a "buyer beware"

notice with the chart since it's implemented differently in different

browsers and OS's (and applications).  But I'm still glad to know those

"missing" codes -- can't count the number of times I wish I'd known

that, eg, 0169 was the copyright code when I'm working on stuff in

Illustrator (I can hear you laughing from here, since I know that you in

the print world have known this for ages). Some of those codes do show

up in Flash just fine too, though as John D says, I suppose one should

exercise care when using them with system fonts.  Anyway, finding out

about charmap in Windows and realizing that I need a 0 in front of the

code when entering it made my some small part of my life much easier,

for which I'm really grateful to Antoine.
