You are welcome :)

No, sorry it is a small library, there only a few functions for unicode
conversions mainly

But you could do something with the Java internals

For example:

CL-USER> (jstatic "codePointOf" "java.lang.Character" "BOX DRAWINGS LIGHT
HORIZONTAL")
9472
CL-USER> (code-char *)
#\=E2=94=80
CL-USER>

... and maybe create a reader macro on top of this

Best,

Alejandro

o, thanks a lot for your reply.<br>

Is there a way, in abcl-utils, to inform the Lisp reader to recognize<br>
named characters such as #\BOX_DRAWINGS_LIGHT_HORIZONTAL in source<br>
code? That is the ultimate goal I am seeking.<br>
