Hi, I have a basic doubt regarding unicode and z/OS (ebcdic : ibm-1047).
$a = chr(0x00A1); $b = chr(0xA1); Should $a and $b be equal or yield different results on ebcdic ? $b is definitely the character "~". Is $a also the same thing or is it the character equivalent to "\xAA" ? $a on linux gives me the char "inverted exclamation mark" which is the character at codepoint "A1" on codepage-819. Is the argument to the chr function for $a a unicode scalar value ? If yes, $a on ascii and ebcdic should be the same ("A1" on ascii and "AA" on ebcdic) ? Thanks in advance, Rajarshi. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Small Business - Try our new Resources site http://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/resources/
