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:

for (var charCode in charCodeToGlyphId) {
          if (glyphId === charCodeToGlyphId[charCode]) {
            return charCode | 0;
          }
        }
        newMapping.charCodeToGlyphId[
          newMapping.nextAvailableFontCharCode
        ] = glyphId;
        return newMapping.nextAvailableFontCharCode++;
      }
      var seacs = font.seacs;
      if (SEAC_ANALYSIS_ENABLED && seacs && seacs.length) {
        var matrix = properties.fontMatrix || FONT_IDENTITY_MATRIX;
        var charset = font.getCharset();
        var seacMap = Object.create(null);
        for (var glyphId in seacs) {
          glyphId |= 0;
          var seac = seacs[glyphId];
          var baseGlyphName = StandardEncoding[seac[2]];
          var accentGlyphName = StandardEncoding[seac[3]];
          var baseGlyphId = charset.indexOf(baseGlyphName);
          var accentGlyphId = charset.indexOf(accentGlyphName);
          if (baseGlyphId < 0 || accentGlyphId < 0) {
            continue;
          }
