Glyph Builder: uniXXXX glyph name doesn’t trigger unicode value

[roberto-arista]

from the RoboFont forum:
https://forum.robofont.com/topic/940/glyph-builder-unixxxx-glyph-name-doesn-t-trigger-unicode-value

[typemytype]

it does but it gets overwritten back to None as the construction has no unicode value...

https://github.com/typemytype/GlyphConstruction/blob/master/GlyphConstruction.roboFontExt/lib/glyphConstructionController.py#L456-L461

I guess making the unicode value implicit in the glyph construction code is the best: uni1E93 = w + acute@top | 1E93

ok, so what "Auto Unicodes" means?

[typemytype]

if this is ticked on in the UI it will use the RF characterMapping to find unicodes, only when no unicode is provided in the construction
