Does anyone know where I can find the Unicode point values of APL
+Win's []AV?

If APL+Win implements it, you should be able to use []UCS to convert from
and to character and numeric representations. For example, using []UCS
[]AV and you should get a vector of unicode point values and if you use
[]UCS on that result you should get back []AV.

Merry Christmas.

That will be fine when they implement it and someone with an APL+
version is willing to run the expression but in the meantime I'm sure
someone must have this info somewhere, probably in the APL+ manuals,
right?

Merry Xmas to you (and everyone else) too.

Try:

http://aplwiki.com/AplToUnicodeII?highlight=%28unicode%29

I posted what I think is a relatively complete set on the APL Wiki some time
ago.

This is very good.
I see there are several characters duplicated, e.g. the (I suppose)
drawing chars in the 176-191 range and A umlaut (pos 142 & 196).
Is there a way to know what they are?

As you have not included anything from the post you are replying to then I
will assume it was my original post. If it was then yes I have duplicated
the code points for the drawing characters and A umlaut because they are
repeated in my version of the APL+WIN atomic vector. As to knowing what they
are the code points are they are set out along side the symbols in my atomic
vector on the wiki page. If you want to see them in integer form then take a
look at the original page:

http://aplwiki.com/AplToUnicode?highlight=%28unicode%29

If you want further information then it is a simple matter to look up the
unicode spec to get the code points for any symbol you like. If you would
rather substitute other characters for the ones I have chosen it again is a
very simple matter to do so.

Graham.

The unicode list is a good idea. The list should be unique tho.
I found an old copy of APL II which displays all 256 chars - I guess
most of them haven't changed.
I'll update the list if I find the proper Unicode points.

I think I heard that there is a difference between APL dialects that
they use a few Unicode symbols differently even if they look the same.

I seem to recall Dyalog's and IBM's encoding of "diamond" and "quad"
being different, but I can't find my notes right now . . . /phil
