I don't think that calling 8-bit ISO-8859-1 ISO-8859-1 can confuse anybody, but UCS-2 (ISO-10646-1), UTF-8 and UTF-16 are all widely used. UTF-8 seems to be the most popular, but even XML standard requires all compliant implementations to deal with at least both UTF-8 and UTF-16. -- Hannu Krosing <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
