The correct character to add would be U+FEFF (UTF-8 "\xEF\xBB\xBF") "ZERO-WIDTH NON-BREAKING SPACE", commonly called the byte order mark, and which may be familiar for showing up as "" in badly encoded documents. For sensible programs, this should be a dead give away to switch into UTF-8 mode; chief among these programs Notepad. For programs which assume UTF-8 but don't detect based upon BOMs it should be an invisible character. _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
