Description
pd1enc.def 2024-10-30 v7.01k Hyperref: PDFDocEncoding definition (HO)
is missing entries for \textasteriskcentered and \textbardbl, i.e. ∗ and ‖. Would it be possible to add those, please?
I know that there are no ASCII entries for those, but for other entries there are at least substitutions, for example:
\DeclareTextCommand{\ij}{PD1}{ij}% ligature U+0069 U+006A % instead of ij U+0133
\DeclareTextCommand{\SS}{PD1}{SS}% % instead of ẞ U+1E9E
\DeclareTextCommand{\textcelsius}{PD1}{\textdegree C}% % instead of ℃ U+2103
, so
\DeclareTextCommand{\textasteriskcentered}{PD1}{\042}% should be U+2217, replaced by regular star
\DeclareTextCommand{\textbardbl}{PD1}{\textbar\textbar}% should be U+2016, replaced by two single bars
comes to mind.
