[OAI-implementers] Unicode table

[Simeon Warner]

Though not quite on the same subject, I spent some time today looking into
bad UTF-8/XML exported by OAI data providers. I found the following
tables useful in finding out where the bad characters came from:

Windows 8-bit (codepage 1252) -> Unicode
  ftp://ftp.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/VENDORS/MICSFT/WINDOWS/CP1252.TXT
Mac Roman -> Unicode
  ftp://ftp.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/VENDORS/MICSFT/MAC/ROMAN.TXT
Local advice from Tanmoy Bhattacharya:
  0x0B (illegal in XML) is TeX for \ff, as in effect
  0x7B ( { ) is TeX for \endash, as in Leonard--Jones

Cheers,
Simeon.
