Guides to maintaining the mapping tables

Here are the steps to produce the mapping tables

  1. Visit https://www.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/VENDORS/ADOBE/, and download the three official mapping files symbol.txt, zdingbat.txt and stdenc.txt
  2. Manually fix some entries in symbol.txt:
    1. Comment out the 00A0 line (space vs no-break space)
    2. EXXX to FXXX are in the "Private Use Area" block and should find the alternative.
