UTF-8 implements it's text support in such an way that characters which require more then 1 byte are formed by using only valid ASCII or Extended ASCII values. For example, save your א in a text file and in a UNIX shell use "od -x file.txt" You will see that this character is represented as 90 d7 in UTF-8 Or in Decimal: 215 144 Now go to the extended ASCII table and you will see that both are valid Extended ASCII values: http://www.asciitable.com/ The same is valid for all other UTF-8 characters. > so you can not do S[i] because it will provide you only part of the > char (one byte). S[i] returns a byte, not a character. If you character has 2 bytes then S[i] will return the first byte and S[i+1] will return the second byte. So, it doesn't matter if this part of SynEdit thinks that your identifier is actually 2 characters which read "×", the corresponding Extended ASCII for your original character. It works just the same. -- Felipe Monteiro de Carvalho -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
