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  , 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. :)
