Part of [wiki:WO3], or rather a special work order on its own. 
Sent with DESpecs version 1.1.2. 

Sent: ok/date.
Returned: 2009-01-05, [http://pythia.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/department1/mpdl/raw-texts/WO3_Euclid_1966.txt/WO3_Euclid_1966_V1.txt raw text]. 
Came with an unknown characters list (<001> and <002>; see attachment "char code.pdf"). 


== 1.  First Analysis ==

=== Difficulties ===

  * The only text to Formax in Chinese

=== Special Instructions ===

  * see attachment


== 2.  Questions From Formax ==

=== Question ===

Questions concerning figures and tables, see attachments "email.doc" and "berlin.doc".

=== Reply ===

The questions were answered in a few stages, which are not relevant. For the final instructions see "Euclid 1966.txt".

=== Final Instructions ===

Final version of the additional instructions for figures and tables: See attachment.


== 3.  Analysis of the Result ==

We had requested a short sample and were content with the result.

=== Findings ===

Unknown characters: <001> appears once in the text and hasn't been included in "ques.xls". It is a badly printed 轂 (U+8F42). It makes sense that they marked it as an unknown character because only by taking the context into account it becomes clear which character is meant.

<002> appears three times and has already appeared in "ques.xls". In "ques.pdf" we told them to transcribe it as U+2F88D. Although this Unicode code point is not included in most Unicode fonts (it is included in Sun-ExtB), we should make it clear for future work orders that they should find every character in Unicode 5.1.0. (Email from 2009-01-05: "There are Chinese characters that we cannot key, and we use <001> and <002> instead of them. We cannot key the word with code 2f88d, so we use <002> instead of it. We have installed the Unicode font, but we cannot find the CJK compatibility ideographs supplement (u+2F800-U+2FA1F) word, can you help us?")

=== Recommendation ===


== 4.  Post-Processing ==

The first XML version of the text is [http://pythia.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/department1/mpdl/raw-texts/WO3_Euclid_1966.txt/WO3_Euclid_1966_V2.txt here].
