In Word, I see ĨĩŨũ, but when I open it in UniPad as UTF-8, I get <LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I WITH TILDE><LATIN SMALL LETTER I WITH TILDE><LATIN CAPITAL LETTER U WITH TILDE><LATIN SMALL LETTER U WITH TILDE><CARRRIAGE RETURN><LINE FFED>, i.e. "I~i~U~u~\r\n" but with the accents on the characters. So the data is UTF-8 encoded, not UTF-16. (But the attachment was called fich1.txt, which you said was UTF-8 encoded.) Maybe the database re-coded it, or the whatever you're using to write to the database or to read back from it is recoding the UTF-16 to UTF-8? Cheers, Philip
