characters
Japanese, please help:
I need to put the following into LaTeX and print it out with pdfLaTeX. The document itself is in English, so I only need a way to put these Kanji characters (Jin, aza, BUN, MOJI, or so, at least I was told so, I have no clue) into the text. Something like \jin, \aza … would be great.
: (char "a")
-> 97
: (char "字")
-> 23383
: (char 23383)
-> "字"
: (chop "文字")
-> ("文" "字")
: (mapcar char @)
-> (25991 23383)
If you write mainly in English and have only certain parts in Swedish (e.g. abstract) you should use
\usepackage[swedish,english]{babel}
as the last language will be the document default language.
You can now switch languages with
{\selectlanguage{swedish}
Denna mening är på svenska. Denna mening "ar p"w svenska.}
or
\begin{otherlanguage}{swedish}
Denna mening är på svenska. Denna mening "ar p"w svenska.
\end{otherlanguage}
Note: With the input encoding latin1 (or utf8 for that matter) you are able to directly input ä, Ä, ö, Ö, å and Å. (But you can/should still use babel for hyphenation.)
Another way to enter the characters is to enter them directly with the \XeTeXglyph macro or use their Unicode character code using the \char macro.
For example, the heart symbol is Unicode 2665 so you can enter that using:
\char"2665
It's also possible to use the font specific glyph index number. For a font like the C64 font, which doesn't have a huge character inventory, this might be easiest. The following document creates a full font table for the C64 Pro Mono font (the upper bound was found by trial and error, but you could use FontForge to find the total number of glyphs as well).
% !TEX TS-program = xelatex
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{pgffor}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\newfontfamily\csixtyfour{C64 Pro Mono}
\DeclareTextFontCommand{\textcom}{\csixtyfour}
\begin{document}
\parindent=0pt
\foreach \x in {4,...,312}
{\x\thinspace\textcom{\XeTeXglyph\x} }
\end{document}
Best Answer
You can use the
CJKutf8package (I wasn't sure about then intended formatting for the other characters, so I left them as they were):-> (25991 23383) \end{Japanese} \end{CJK}
