Hi folks,
Many sites are now using Character Entity Names defined under
https://www.w3.org/TR/xml-entity-names/
https://www.w3.org/TR/xml-entity-names/#source
https://www.w3.org/TR/xml-entity-names/bycodes.html
https://www.w3.org/TR/xml-entity-names/byalpha.html
the former is about 184KB, and the latter about 386KB, with a lot of HTML
overhead.
As they have to index character name strings not just codepoint combos, they
probably need about an order of magnitude more space than compose data:
~50KB source with lots of overhead actually ~8KB.
I see. I'm expecting other issues with zero-width-whatever, but will
(after current work on cdk & dialog) see about making a script to extract
the data from bycodes.html
