It's also worth noting that when Ken Thompson and Rob Pike (yes, the same Rob Pike and Ken Thompson that created Go) created UTF-8, they made sure it was backwards compatible with ASCII. Any characters that are representable in ASCII will be the exact same bytes when encoded to UTF-8. I'd be suprised if Windows didn't understand UTF-8 these days, so it may be that you really don't need to "convert" your file at all. Here's a fun introduction to Unicode (with a brief discussion of encoding methods), if you're interested: http://reedbeta.com/blog/programmers-intro-to-unicode/ —Sam -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
