Unicode in TeX




The Omega and Lambda programs (Unicode-extended TeX and LaTeX) promise to
be a good environment for multilingual text processing. I have now found
the necessary magic which switches on the support for UTF-8 encoded source.
(It was present but just not documented.)

This, and a mapping of a thousand Unicode characters (among them, 77% of
TARGET1 and all AMSTeX symbols that are present in Unicode) is available
at ftp://ftp.ilog.fr/pub/Users/haible/utf8/utf8-tex-0.1.tar.gz.

Old notation like \`a or \geq is not necessary any more. Just use your
preferred input method (Emacs-quail or whatever), and enjoy a better
visual feedback of your TeX sources.
