So then you could have "non null terminated null terminated strings"? Its just a trick to sneak embedded nulls into a utf-8 null terminated string?... if you want to have embedded nulls in a string, its probably better not to use null-termination than to use overcoded utf-8. This probably represents some internal work-around for backwards compatibility, and is not a real external encoding. -- Linux-UTF8: i18n of Linux on all levels Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/
