Does anyone know what unicode page and/or codes are for the characters for the short, long, short/long (anceps) and other poetical and metric characters are contained in?

Unicode characters for showing metric length?

Cardo Font has a private range
Well, maybe I'm answering my own question. After hunting through various fonts with Windows character map, I found a private range in the Cardo font. Characters U+F700. But since this is a private range, users who would view this on a web page would have to have the Cardo font installed.
I know one of the commoner methods is using the characters x u -, but I'm trying to find a more elegant solution for doing meter on web pages.

This PDF should answer your question: http://www.brill.nl/downloads/Metrical- ... ode101.pdf
Edit: Although your visitors will of course have to have a font that incorporates these character, something that will most likely not be the case.
