*Only* if you entered UTF-8 from ISO 2022 via <ESC> % G, which is the escape sequence that *designates* UTF-8 as an "encoding outside ISO 2022 with standard return". If you activated UTF-8 via a locale or via a command line switch, then <ESC> % @ should be ignored. Also if you activated UTF-8 from ISO 2022 via one of <ESC> % / G <ESC> % / H <ESC> % / I then <ESC> % @ should *not* allow a return to ISO 2022, because these ESC sequences designate UTF-1 in Lecels 1/2/3 as "encodings outside ISO 2022 without standard return". http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/unicode.html#term http://www.itscj.ipsj.or.jp/ISO-IR/ Markus -- Markus G.
