Link to issue number:

Fixes #10399

Summary of the issue:

Some bullets characters are not announced correctly ("black club" instead of "black square" and "double right arrow" instead of "right arrow"). Moreover, PUA mapping is not correct for u+F0D8 and u+F0E8 (checked visually and with matching tables found on http://www.alanwood.net).

Description of how this pull request fixes the issue:

Remapped the following bullet characters in the mapPUAToUnicode dictionary:

  • u+F0A7, previously announced as "black club" to u+25AA (black small square)
  • u+F0E8, previously announced as "right double arrow" to u+0001f87a (wide-headed rightwards heavy barb arrow)
  • u+F0D8 to u+2B9A (three-D top-lighted RIGHTWARDS equilateral arrowhead)

And modified symbols.dic files consequently.

Note: all the lines of mapPUAToUnicode dictionary show a change in the diff since I have added the name of each character in the end line comment. However, only the 3 mapping value have been modified.

Testing performed:

Checked in the document PRBullets.docx that bullets are correctly announced.

Known issues with pull request:

None
