Thanks for the clarification. It does indeed help. I suppose if I could edit my post, the key thing I wanted to remind people is that utf-8 encoded text is not unicode... it's unicode represented in a data structure. And to the other poster, Damjan, you're right of course: ascii is 7bits only. Not sure how I could have forgotten that :-P Referencing the excellent article that James posted, "Using UTF-8, every code point from 0-127 is stored in a single byte. Only code points 128 and above are stored using 2, 3, in fact, up to 6 bytes." So, when I said "unicode is just multi-byte strings" I should have said "utf-8 is just multi-byte strings" Thanks! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
