Hello,

I notice that the mathml entity "jmath" is listed as unicode 0x6a,  
which is just a regular lowercase J.

(see http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/REC-MathML2-20031021/bycodes.html)

On the other hand, unicode defines a character 0x1D6A5, nestled among  
the other mathematical alphabets, which is called "MATHEMATICAL  
ITALIC SMALL DOTLESS J", and mentions the TeX command "\jmath". The  
reference glyph looks awfully like what I think jmath should be.

(see http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U1D400.pdf)

Perhaps jmath should be redirected to 0x1D6A5 in mathml 3.0?

David
