GWT *source code* is UTF-8 (if you know what's good for you!). GWT *strings* are UTF-16 --- because the Java spec says so. String.charAt() will return you an unboxed Character, which is a single UTF-16 value. It's vitally important to note that this is not the same as a Unicode code point! Some code points get stored as pairs of Characters, so if you assume your string contains Unicode your app will break on some strings. You need String.codePointAt() to get a Unicode code point, but I haven't checked to see whether that's supported on the client. String.getBytes() is not supported by GWT, and will only work on the server (where it's running real Java). - -- ┌─── ｄｇ＠ｃｏｗｌａｒｋ．ｃｏｍ ───── http://www.cowlark.com ───── │ │ "There is no Fermi Paradox.
