bug#2806: characters from unicode-sip coderange still not displaying properly

[Christian Wittern]

Thank you Handa-san.  Shortly after sending this message, I found out 
that Yamamoto Mitsuharu-san in Chiba has a patch [1] that provides the 
functionality I needed.  I succeeded in applying this patch and have 
used the resulting Emacs.app for about a month now without any 
problems.  It would surely be great if that patch could be incorporated 
into the Emacs source.
All the best,  Christian
