My point was that given that la and ra point to glyphs from the Symbol font in devps, that devutf8’s author probably presumed they should then map to the iso10646 code points which were added for compatability with the Synbol font, rather than the similar text characters. One can see how one may presume that anything coming from Symbol was intended for a math context....

I was describing my presumtion of the author's thinking, and of the unicode/10646 thinking. Part of the problem of course is that unicode/10646 deals with characters and the dev filesets were at least originally designed to deal with glyphs. That devutf8 and devhtml should map to characters rather than glyphs is true. How easy that will be in the general case — where unification vs. disunification, nfc vs nfd, et al all come into play — makes for Interesting Times. -JimC -- James H.
