When I copy/paste the multiplication sign on the first line of the first page, I got a `£`.
And when I do the same in evince I got a `×` (the same in chrome).
The font descriptor is:
```
<< /Ascent 0 /CapHeight 749 /CharSet (/multiply) /Descent 0 /Flags 262212 /FontBBox [ -27 -940 1332 825 ] /FontFile3 59 0 R /FontName /KHPEPJ+CMBSY10 /ItalicAngle -14.035 /StemV 0 /Type /FontDescriptor >>
```
So it should be possible to guess the correct character in using the `CharSet` entry:

glyphName = baseEncoding[charCode];
            } else {
              glyphName = StandardEncoding[charCode];
            }
            if (!glyphName) {
              continue;
            }
            
            standardGlyphName = recoverGlyphName(glyphName, glyphsUnicodeMap);
            var unicodeOrCharCode;
            if (cmapPlatformId === 3 && cmapEncodingId === 1) {
              unicodeOrCharCode = glyphsUnicodeMap[standardGlyphName];
            } else if (cmapPlatformId === 1 && cmapEncodingId === 0) {
              
              unicodeOrCharCode = MacRomanEncoding.indexOf(standardGlyphName);
            }
            for (let i = 0; i < cmapMappingsLength; ++i) {
              if (cmapMappings[i].charCode !== unicodeOrCharCode) {
                continue;
              }
              charCodeToGlyphId[charCode] = cmapMappings[i].glyphId;
              break;
            }
          }
        } else if (cmapPlatformId === 0) {
          
          for (let i = 0; i < cmapMappingsLength; ++i) {
            charCodeToGlyphId[cmapMappings[i].charCode] =
              cmapMappings[i].glyphId;
          }
