Well, you probably do not want to go for Unicode with all its normalisation formas etc, but rather for ISO 10646 utf-8. If so, you should rather call it ISO 10646 utf-8 - which by the way is an international standard (unicode is not). best regards Keld -- Linux-UTF8: i18n of Linux on all levels Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/
