Cheers,

Thank you Tedd, that was very helpful. After reading your mail from
yesterday I went to wikipedia to learn what graphemes and ligatures
are. Your example of "fi" was there, otherwise I would have had no
idea that those letters can be combined. In Hebrew and Arabic,
especially, I can see how the vowel points (Hebrew) and combinations
like "LA" (Arabic) can confuse the ASCII function. Thanks.

Dotan:
No problem -- if you want a great book on the subject, try:
Building Scalable Web Sites by Henderson
Chapter 4 is all about l16n, L10n, and Unicode. Makes a good read.
Plus, there's a lot more good stuff in that book.
Cheers,
tedd
