John.
Can the character definition specify a new ASCII value in place of the UTF one
rather than a dot pattern? It might make it simpler since some of the higher
UTF characters are actually just different ways of representing common
characters, dollar sign and open double quote for example.

The ueb tables have a lot of these Unicode characters, probably with different
dot patterns. I'll be glad to put an updated chardefs.cti table in the
repository. The new characters should be added to the end.
