Hello

Yes there is a solution to what Mr.Bernard Miller has asked for.If the
Unibook does not let you see all the properties as they are you can download
the Bjondi Character Agent from http://www.bjondi.com .It shows you the
property of every Unicode character.
I do not own this piece of software and have not contributed in any way to
it's development either.So kindly check out the company's licencing policy.

Yours
Arjun
