Hmm, how about: Allow Unicode escapes, e.g., E'\u####' or U&'\####', to represent any character available in the database encoding, even when that encoding is not UTF-8. which I suggest as I recall more clearly that the former condition was not that such escapes were always rejected in other encodings; it was that they were rejected if they represented characters outside of ASCII. (Yossarian let out a respectful whistle.) My inclination is to give at least one example each of the E and U& form, if only so the casual reader of the notes may think "say! I hadn't heard of that other form!" and be inspired to find out about it. But perhaps it seems too much. Regards, -Chap
