Like for numerics. I want one where I can see all the symbols for "one".
In the Unicode 3.0 book, WHY ON EARTH are the Han digits (you know them)
not listed directly with the other numerics? They are given their own
category. (I have always wondered why the Han digit 1 ($B0l(B) is not called
HAN DIGIT ONE, etc.)

I have Windows ME on another computer and it lacks Character Map. That
infuriates me.
