Thread:Project:Support desk/plane 15 characters with postgresql database search problems

mediawiki 1.19.2 on PostgreSQL 9.1

Dear All,

I am at present trying to set up a wiki, for Zhuang Sawndip that requires support in PUA plane 15 for characters not yet in Unicode. A three line test page revealed a problem with the searches, namely that whilst characters from the plane 0, the BMP (basic multilingual plane), and plane 2, the SIP (Supplementary Ideographic Plane) are handled correctly, when a search is made for plane 15 characters they do not are not found.

The three test lines where:-

BMP 佲估

SIP 𦘭𥎵

PUA 󴆦󴮬

It appears to me that the plane charcters have been blocked in some way, I would like to change the settings so that the plane 15 charcters, which form about 20% of Sawndip text are included.

The site that the wiki will go on is http://gdzhdb.l10n-support.com/ there is an open source online IME at http://gdzhdb.l10n-support.com/legacy/sawndip0619c.html, the PUA characters (presently over seven thousand) are in the open source font http://gdzhdb.l10n-support.com/sawndip-fonts/Sawndip.ttf for which the English version of the license is at http://gdzhdb.l10n-support.com/sawndip-fonts/license/english/ARPHICPL.TXT.

Yours sincerly John
