title: conversion of MathematicalPI symbol names to Unicode
body: <p>I am processing PDF files and wish to convert characters to Unicode as far as possible. The MathematicalPI family of character sets appear to use their own symbol names (e.g. "H11001"). By exploration I have constructed a table (for MathematicalPI-One) like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    &lt;chars&gt;
          &lt;char charname="H11001" codepoint16="0X2B" codepoint="43" unicodeName="PLUS"/&gt;
          &lt;char charname="H11002" codepoint16="0x2D" codepoint="45" unicodeName="MINUS"/&gt;
          &lt;char charname="H11003" codepoint16="0XD7" codepoint="215" unicodeName="MULTIPLICATION SIGN"/&gt; 
           &lt;char charname="H11005" codepoint16="0X3D" codepoint="61" unicodeName="EQUALS"/&gt;
      &lt;/char&gt; 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Can anyone point me to an existing translation table like this (ideally for all MathematicalPI sets). [I don't want a graphical display of glyphs as that means each has to be looked up as a Unicode equivalent.]</p>
  
  <p>Also there seems to be a similar symbol resource where the charnames are of the form C223 (for copyright). Any information on this will be appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>UPDATE:
  I need something well beyond @user1808924's answer - I have already compiled by own (partial) translation table so it's certainly possible to construct one. It is possible to download and display a list of glyphs in MathematicalPI (may hundreds) and to go through the Unicode spec making equivalences (and for the majority I think there are clear equivalences). A satisfactory answer would either include a table with hundreds of equivalences or a defintive statement that this would violate Copyright of the font creator. </p>
  
  <p>UPDATE: Between @minopret and @Miguel it is certainly possible to construct a mapping. The MathPi sets are well defined - a few hundred - and shapecatcher makes it easy to find the best glyphs pictorially. The mapping won't be definitive (i.e. with Adobe's stamp) but it will be worthwhile. And I suspect there will be cases where two different glyphs are essentially identical and so a visual mapping wont work - e.g. is an equilateral triangle INCREMENT or GREEK CAPITAL LETTER DELTA? </p>
  
  <p>I doubt that I personally will complete a full table - I don't know what some of the symbols mean. But I hope to produce a subset used in Scientific technical medical (STM) publishing.</p>
  
  <p>@user1808924 I notice you answered this on your first day on SO. Bounty questions are normally offered (as in this case) for difficult questions where there is a definitive answer but it is difficult to find. It's not normally useful to offer opinions or guesses unless you have expert knowledge of the area.</p>
