symbol U+240e seems to misrepresent the `Shift Out' character by `SS' instead of `SO'

[m]

Hallo,

A similar bug has been described (and repaired) earlier. See

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fonts-freefont/+bug/1070669.

I first encountered this typographical error on the website of Wikipedia (using the Firefox web browser)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C0_and_C1_control_codes

when looking at the table representing ASCII control characters.

U+240e ␎ Shift Out should probably be represented by `SO' and not `SS'. See for reference (as in the report referred to above) the following document on the Unicode website

http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U2400.pdf.

This typographical error also seems to appear in other programs such as Libre Office Calc, the xfc4-terminal, chromium-browser. I am guessing it is visible in most, and possibly in all programs.

Kind regards,
Michael

Thank yoi for your bug report, the issue is probably rather one with the font than one from the browser utility
