a

FontPath FontPath=STKAIREG.TTF The lename of the UDC font

FontName

FontName=

The name of the UDC font

FontCodePoint FontCodePoint=3 The code point in the UDC font

A code point reference that represents the “parent” or standard version of the UDC. It eectively means that the UDC will be treated as a variant a.

of the parent character for purposes such as searching.

Once you have properly registered your UDCs, you can then start making use of them in

your documents. ere are two ways in which UDCs can be referenced:

As a user-dened code point, in UCS-2 encoding’s Private Use Area (PUA), such as •

the value 

As an ampersand-prexed, eight-digit hexadecimal string, such as “&• 1”

XKP also denes three character sets—Basic, Extended, and Compatibility—and three

implementation levels—1, 2, and 3—for Japanese. ese are referred to as SDCs in XKP.

Two of the character sets refer to Japanese subrepertoires specied in JIS X 0221-1995.

Table 6-61 lists these implementation levels, along with references to the Japanese subrep-

ertoires specied in JIS X 0221-1995.
