Hello, Norbert. I'm using Netbeans IDE and it's in UTF-8 mode, as is my en_GB.UTF-8 locale.
Just to be sure, though, I also tried this: $string = "\xc2\xa3"; //UTF byte encoding for the British Pound sign $this->assertTrue(ctype_print($string)); I believe that \xc2\xa3 is the UTF-8 byte encoding for the £ symbol, but correct me if I'm wrong. -- PHP Unicode & I18N Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
