[XeTeX] Character Variants

[David Perry]

Bob,

I don't have this font, so I can't say for sure that the following will 
work, but it might.  Alt-x in Word and BabelPad is just a way of 
entering a Unicode character.  You can enter characters by number in 
XeTeX with \char"XXXX; so try

\char"8FBB\char"E0100
