What are "symbol characters"?!

That is characters found in Symbol fonts.
Font with microsoft's "symbol" codepage, defined in <cmap> by platformID="3" platEncID="0"

The font named "Webdings" is an example of such fonts:

Symbol font characters with hex values >A0 (and <=FF) are generally displayed

The character shown is not the one corresponding to the hex value.  For

instance, a5 is either X (times symbol) or

Yen symbol, when it should be the infinity symbol.  Symbol characters <A0

display correctly.  This

was seen on Windows XP SP3, with Inkscape 0.48.2, Inkscape trunk (from last

week) and Gimp 2.6.10.

The two applications give the same wrong characters, so the problem may be

with Pango, which they both use.

For details and examples for Inkscape see:
