Hi Carsten, sorry I didn't respond to this sooner, I was kind of expecting that someone who does that kind of work more often than I do would respond. There are a couple of native functions in ColdFusion 7+ for doing this. CharsetDecode and CharsetEncode which will probably be a bit faster than the loop. It will certainly be fewer keystrokes. Information about the CharsetDecode function can be found on the Adobe livedocs site here: http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/8/htmldocs/functions_c-d_02.html#4990140 So I would expect (but haven't tested) that converting from UTF-8 to UCS2 would look like this: <cfset string = CharsetEncode(CharsetDecode(string,"UTF-8"),"UCS-2") /> *however* There's a good chance that your string isn't in UTF-8 until the very last second before it's returned to the http user agent (browser, etc) because ColdFusion stores strings internally in UCS-2. So if all the content you're delivering in the current request needs to be in UCS-2 then the above conversion may not work the way you expect and it may be easier anyway to use the cfprocessingdirective tag, like this: <cfprocessingdirective pageencoding="UCS-2"> <cfoutput> <tag>#content#</tag> </cfoutput> </cfprocessingdirective> More information about cfprocessingdirective can be found again in the Adobe livedocs here: http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/8/htmldocs/Tags_p-q_13.html#2962107 hth, ike -- s. isaac dealey ^ new epoch isn't it time for a change? ph: 503.236.3691 http://onTap.riaforge.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:295529 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
