It is a simple mapping to a 256 codepage: To quote from the documentation: However, WinEdt can transparently convert Unicode (UTF-8) documents into ACP when they are loaded and back to UTF-8 when they are saved. This makes it possible to work with UTF-8 documents as long as they can be converted into ACP (Ansi Code Page). -- Ulrike Fischer ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
