I tried what you suggested with unipad, but for some reason it went to a
location on a PUA character map, rather than CJK Unified Ideographs
Extension B, where they are in fact located. I guess it is because Unipad
doesn't support Extension B yet, or else I am doing something wrong. But
thanks for directing me to the Unipad website, I'm sure it will be useful.
Here is a sample line of text with the two graphs as blanks (on my machine),
second and third from the left. They are No. 2835C and 283B9 respectively,
on p.152 of the Extension B pdf:
心而鮮歡。望天涯而佇念，擢雄劍而長歎。
The page this text is from is
http://www.chant.org/scripts/frame.asp?t=b&id=000675 I don't think
you'll get into the site unless you or your university is a member.
The basic problem may be because I may need to upgrade before I can see and
use Extension B characters. Thanks for your suggestion, and any more you
might have.
Allen
