It's not strict yet (I'll cross that bridge when we agree on where it is ;-),
it just translates the hex values to utf-8. And now, counting from 0-9 in

(Are there any number systems up in the four bytes per symbol ranges?


Yes:

10A40..10A43  ; Digit # No   [4] KHAROSHTHI DIGIT ONE..KHAROSHTHI DIGIT FOUR
104A0..104A9  ; Decimal # Nd  [10] OSMANYA DIGIT ZERO..OSMANYA DIGIT NINE

If anybody would like to use my code, I'd be happy to make it available
without restriction. It's all of 100 lines, and most of the fun was
generating utf-8 by hand.

BTW, I've just implemented encoded-character myself.
