But Unicode 4.1.0 works fine in my Ubuntu 5.04 box. Windows and it's 
range of software also doesn't have any update yet, but that works fine 
without any problem. It's just a character besides a particular code, so 
there should not be any problem getting the output if we fix the font. 
In fact I'm not getting any problem in both Windows and Linux. I just 
added the codepoint in the glyph with FontLab (Windows) and it's working 
well. You can check it by downloading any of the font from
