Wow!, i completly forgot about that while trying to focus on the actual problem! Thanks! It's been a long time since I last played with bits;) For those interested this is what the recode command, Martin gave above, does: c3 8a -> 1100.0011 1000.1010 now(see [1]), the actual bits of the coded character are: | 1100.0011 1000.1010 | ---0.0011 --00.1010 which gives: | 0000.0000 1100.1010 -> 00 ca Thanks again for this clarification. Now the actual problem remains: the character 'Ê' (\u00ca), I see the character Ë (\u00cb). This is probably a font problem. But how do I know, where am I suppose to report this?
