Nisse Engström:

Does Opera handle 5-digit code points? Let's try U+E0021 (TAG EXCLAMATION MARK):

The currently released versions do not, the value overflows the variable and it gets chopped off. My fix for the problem should solve that as well, and make sure that it doesn't try to evaluate codepoints outside of Unicode (so numbers up to 10FFFF will be evaluated, "110000" will give you a "1" and U+10000, while "202021" should give you "20" followed by "U+2021").

Do you happen to know of any 5-digit code points that Opera should be able to display, and that can be expected to be available on Windows?

There are several in plane 2 that will work if you have the appropriate Chinese fonts. Installing Code2001 <URL:http://www.code2000.net/code2001.htm> would give you access to several characters in plane one. Whether or not they work for display is a different issue, as we do have various problems displaying these characters, unfortunately.
