Bug#889603: texlive-latex-extra: ucs support for Unicode character U+200A (hair space)?



Package: texlive-latex-extra
Version: 2017.20180110-1

While typesetting a book using the odf->md->docbook->dblatex path, I ran
into this error from LaTeX:

  [127] (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/ucs/data/uninames.dat)
  (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/ucs/data/uni-32.def)

  ! Package ucs Error: Unknown Unicode character 8202 = U+200A,
  (ucs)                possibly declared in uni-32.def.
  (ucs)                Type H to see if it is available with options.

  See the ucs package documentation for explanation.
  Type  H <return>  for immediate help.
   ...                                              
                                                  
  l.6839       for noncommercial use 
                                       — and there have been many, many do...

  ? 

The problematic character is the HTML entity &hairsp;, unicode character
U+200A, also known as hair space.

Could ucs be extended to understand this Unicode character?

I found some notes on LaTeX and hair space in
<URL: http://www.read.seas.harvard.edu/~kohler/latex.html > which might
be useful. :)
