Re: unicode editing

[John Morgan <johnjosephmorgan@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I found a site that says to add these lines to my .emacs
'; set unicode data file location. (used by what-cursor-position)
(let ((x "~/Documents/emacs/UnicodeData.txt"))
  (when (file-exists-p x)
    (setq describe-char-unicodedata-file x)))

I'm still getting an emacspeak-speak-char-name error that refers to ucs-names.
symbol's function definition is void: ucs-names
and emacspeak is silent when I type c-e c or c-f or c-b or m-f or m-b.
