Bug#289587: gucharmap: Wrong unicode displayed in character table

Package: gucharmap
Version: 1:1.4.2-1
Severity: normal

See screenshot at

When selecting a character in the private use area, gucharmap
displays wrong unicodes in the character table for missing 
characters. The problem with this is that it is really cumbersome
to find characters by unicode that way (in the private use
area for most fonts there are very few slots actually used).

The font used (if that matters) is Adobe Myriad Pro, which 
is included with Adobe Reader 7.0 for Windows (and probably
for Linux too, but that is still in beta at the time I 
write this).

TIA
