Since this topic comes up every now and again, allow me to point out a resource I just happened upon: http://www.bitjungle.com/~isoent/ On this page is a link to an XML file that is a very thorough database mapping Unicode code points (at least, ones that we care about) to their LaTeX representation. When the LaTeX representation requires a particular package or environment, these are provided. For example: <char pos="840"> <entity name="Kcy" set="iso-8879-cyr1"> <desc>=capital KA, Cyrillic</desc> </entity> <unicode value="041A"> <desc>CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER KA</desc> </unicode> <latex> <seq req="cyracc,amsfonts" env="cyr">K</seq> <seq req="fontenc:T2A">\CYRK</seq> </latex> </char> This is the mapping to end all mappings. It evens comes with convenient PDF references. -- Robert Kern rk...@uc... "In the fields of hell where the grass grows high Are the graves of dreams allowed to die." -- Richard Harter
