    I should be more exact in my wording. I was here refering to the big 4
    dictionaries, which IMHO contain some pretty obscure characters, and
    and outstanding characters where encoded in Extension B (apart from a
    number of characters missed out by mistake), and the presence of some
    relatively not so obscure characters yet to be encoded.
