There's no such encoding. "The use of the term is sometimes criticized, because it can be mistakenly interpreted that the ASCII standard has been updated to include more than 128 characters or that the term unambiguously identifies a single encoding, both of which are untrue" - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_ascii You have to tell me what you want me to do with those bytes. They can be: 1) rejected and replaced with U+FFFD (replacement character) 2) copied with the high bit discarded 3) copied as-is, which means doing exactly the same as fromLatin1 4) something else What are you suggesting? -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel Open Source Technology Center Intel Sweden AB - Registration Number: 556189-6027 Knarrarnäsgatan 15, 164 40 Kista, Stockholm, Sweden
