Also, JIS, and I assume there's established mappings between JIS and EUC-JP, and probably for the other languages, too. "The mappings to major standards have been exhaustively proofed and are a normative part of Unicode." (http://www.unicode.org/charts/unihan.html) "A normative part of Unicode" sounds very authoritative; am I missing something? -- Glenn Maynard -- Linux-UTF8: i18n of Linux on all levels Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/
