MD> Just curious - Why do you put UTF-16 and Big-5 in the same 'horror' class?
Not self-synchronising at C0.
With a civilised encoding, you can resynchronise whenever you see ESC.
In a terminal emulator, this means that as long as your state is not
so badly hosed that you cannot even type ``tput reset'', you'll be
fine. With Big-5 or UTF-16, there is simply *no* reliable way to
resynchronise. Ever.
