Yes. They are called Unicode, at least. This has my preference for explanation and documentation. > b. or are you agreeing that characters in Perl take values > 0..0x7FFF_FFFF (or beyond), which are generally interpreted as > UCS, where required and possible ? This too. This is the more technically accurate explanation, and has my preference for implementation. > If (a) then characters with ordinals beyond 0x10_FFFF should throw > warnings (at least) since they clearly are not Unicode ! Perl just has a somewhat broad definition of "unicode", that is not the same as the official unicode character set. It has its own utf8, it can have its own unicode too :) -- Met vriendelijke groet, Kind regards, Korajn salutojn, Juerd Waalboer: Perl hacker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://juerd.nl/sig> Convolution: ICT solutions and consultancy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
