Exactly. All these chars could be encoded with Unicode and one can
use the CSX mapping table I've sent to the lsit with existing programs
to convert texts in legacy CSX encoding to Unicode. I should have

Some time ago I sumbitted it to Mark Leisher for inclustion to his
CSets collection
http://crl.nmsu.edu/~mleisher/csets.html
as CSX &co are not "official" standards. I haven't heard back from
him yet.
