-CMaps(([[https://www-cdf.fnal.gov/offline/PostScript/5014.CIDFont_Spec.pdf|5014.CIDFont_Spec.pdf]] Adobe CMap and CIDFont Files Specification)) (Character Maps) define unidirectional mapping from a code to another.
+CMaps(([[https://www-cdf.fnal.gov/offline/PostScript/5014.CIDFont_Spec.pdf|5014.CIDFont_Spec.pdf]] Adobe CMap and CIDFont Files Specification)) (Character Maps) define unidirectional mapping from a code to another. (This should not be confused with the cmap table(([[https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/opentype/spec/cmap|cmap — Character to Glyph Index Mapping Table]])) of an OpenType font.)
 CMaps provide a very general mechanism which can describe any mappings, including unicode which was developed later. Input codes of variable length (1, 2, 3 or more bytes) can be mapped to characters.

-Two codes (<24> and <50>) are mapped to a string of 2-byte characters. This is defined by the PDF spec(({{pdf:pdf32000_2008.pdf|PDF specification (ISO standard PDF 32000-1:2008)}})) in section 9.10.3 "ToUnicode CMaps".
