problem of (double)quote--choosing char by glyphs

Question

I use fontenc, fontspec and xelatex to load the custom font.

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}  
\usepackage{fontspec}  
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}  
\usepackage{xunicode}  
\setmainfont[Mapping=Tex-Text]{Warnock Pro}  

But I have some problem about choosing char by using \char. The \char"201C is different than just type ``. `` displays correctly as what it is in glyphs. But \char"201C is very similar to \textquotedblleft (but a little bit different). That is, \char"201C is not belong to typefaces "Warnock Pro". Also, if I just type “, it is also similar to \textquotedblleft.

How to output a char by specifying \char"xxx of custom loaded font?

That is, if possible, I don't want to use [Mapping=Tex-Text], and just want to type quote, or other char, such as α directly. Most chars can be displayed right. But some of them (especially quoted-related char) can't be showed right.

--UPDATE Some chars, such as ‡ or †, it won't be displayed no matter I type † or \char"2020. (no matter I use Mapping=Tex-Text or not). Do I need to add some other parameters?

--UPDATE 2 I found out the problems happends due to I use the package \usepackage{xeCJK}. However, I need it to set up English/Forein language seperately. I seems it would make \char"xxx displays the font belongs to \setCJKmainfont.

By xeCJK, the char\"201C should use non-CJK font. But it seems it still use CJK-font now (even though I use \xeCJKsetcharclass{"2000}{"2FFF}{0}). But if I turn of xeCJK (\makexeCJKinactive then it displays correctly)

--UPDATE 3 I add the following testing code. It seems xeCJK can't work correctly?

\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{article}
\usepackage{xeCJK}
\setCJKromanfont{Verdana}
\setromanfont{Times New Roman}
\begin{document}
--\char"201C --``--“--‘‘--\char"60--\textquoteleft\\
%output: verdana--times("60)--verdana--verdana--times--verdana
\setromanfont[Mapping=tex-text]{Times New Roman}
--\char"201C --``--“--‘‘ --\char"60--\textquoteleft\\
% output: verdana, Times ("201C)--verdana--verdana--times("2018)--verdana
\xeCJKsetcharclass{"0}{"2FFF}{0} %same
--\char"201C --``--“--‘‘ --\char"60--\textquoteleft\\
\xeCJKsetcharclass{"0}{"2FFF}{1} %same
--\char"201C --``--“--‘‘ --\char"60--\textquoteleft\\
\makexeCJKinactive %all in roman
--\char"201C --``--“--‘‘ --\char"60--\textquoteleft\\
\end{document}

Thank you!

Never use inputenc with XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX. Never.

The option is actually Mapping=tex-text (but the uppercase seems to work too), or better use Ligatures=TeX, as this will work with lualatex too.

I don't have your font but \char"201C should work. If it doesn't then either your are doing something curious in the rest of your document, or the font is corrupt, or you have more then one version of the font. Compile this document on the command line with `xelatex --output-driver="xdvipdfmx -vv" and then check in the terminal and in the log-file the pathes of the fonts.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont[Ligatures=TeX]{Warnock Pro}
\begin{document}
`` ^^^^201c \char"201C
\end{document}
