Unicode characters for Chu'an Fa Kung Fu

The "unicode" characters

62F3

6CD5

529F

592B

should be available in Microsoft Office 2003 (with Asian text installed) and others applications that have the Unicode text set.  They are the characters for quan2 fa3 gong fu1 (in pinyin) / chu'an fa kung fu (in Cantonese).  I am NOT a Chinese linguist but I've done a lot of research and I am 99.44% sure this is right (plus friends who ARE Chinese have confirmed the characters for me--the rest was some heavy Internet work, especially on www.zhongwen.com).  You can get them into your documents by using Insert-> Symbol and then typing in the correct number in the "Character code" entry box at the bottom of the dialog box that opens up.

Font: (Asian text)  - - - Subset: CJK Unified Ideographs

Hope this helps all you aficionados who can't read Chinese, like me.  It was fun tracking this down, but complicated.  I am happy to provide this info to anyone who needs it.
