HTML Entities in Unicode Private USE Area

Hello,
 
I have a special Font where the Private Area has special Symbols I need to use in our application. I can add HTML-Entities up to 32767 in a Textfield in Birt, above that they wouldn't exchanged. I need Symbols up to order number 65535 See attached report. The Report ist designed with Arial. Thats not a font problem. You can test it with every font that has symbols higher than 32767.

What symbols are you expecting for 59146(E70A)? This is a private area of the Unicode table. As far as I know there are no standard characters for this code. See <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://unicode-table.com/en'>http://unicode-table.com/en</a>

Yes, thats right. We have a special font we created for symbols to display. 
But the main Problem ist, that birt wouldn't exchange these html-entities to the coresponding character if the index number is greater than 32767. You have the same problem if you want to use the 32768 Character, which is a normal character. Don't which language it is, but think it is a asian one.
 
Could this be a overflow error? Signed int or something like that?

It is actually a bug in one of the Open Source resource files BIRT uses - Tidy.jar. Using a new version of the JAR file will be available in the next release.
 
A fast work around is using the new library. Repackage it into the report.engine :
 
Steps: 
 
Locate the plugin on:
For iHub:
Location to place is: \iHub\Jar\BIRT\platform\plugins 
 
For BDPro:
Location to place is:: \BDPro\eclipse\plugins
 
For OS BIRT:
\eclipse\plugins
 
This is the jar to change the library: org.eclipse.birt.report.engine_X.X.X.vX.jar
 
Open with file extractor and replace with a newer version:
 
lib\Tidy.jar (attached newer version)
 
To ensure BDPro or OS BIRT, use clean in ini
add -clean on first line of eclipse.ini file

Hello,
 
yes that works. But it seems its not the official Version from sourceforge, or?

The file size are different. Is this a special patched Version for Birt?

Hello,
 
the ziped jar file has no license. Under which licencen do you provide this jar? Could you pack the jar with licence-file?
We are not allowed to integrate a jar without checking the licence of it.
 
Thanks
