Re: [ft] How to get a glyph index of Japanese charactor

[Daniel Wyatt]

The charcode is the Unicode code point.
0xE38193 is an invalid Unicode code point.

For a quick way to get the Unicode code points for characters, try:
http://people.w3.org/rishida/scripts/uniview/uniview.php

For a test of Japanese code points try:
0x3042 - あ
0x65E5 0x672C 0x8A9E - 日本語
