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

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?

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
