Doug, I wrote a couple short extension methods which convert from Arabic to UTF-16 and back. The pattern goes like this: - Get input from GUI - Convert from known code page to utf-16, in this case that's windows-1256 - Save the data into MV ... it's just text and doesn't get munged on the wire

We process and store most of our info in utf-8 - this includes multiple European languages, not currently Chinese tho but that should not be an issue if it is encoded in utf-8. We also use uniobjects.net with this data no problem. Well I say no problem - you do have to make sure your lang

Also if you are running u2 on linux the iconv utility (not the u2 ICONV, linux iconv) is essential when dealing with different character encodings. But there are a few undocumented features on here called //TRANSLIT and //IGNORE that it is worth googleing about. -Original Message-

I'll cast another vote for UTF-8. This mechanism for storing and transmitting Unicode data is elegantly designed, and it should be usable in almost any legacy system that allows 8-bit data. Take a look at its byte value allocations: * Hex-00 through hex-1F are standard control characters,

It's a critical point, and worth verifying. If someone will verify what UV NLS does, that'd be great. In the Unicode manual, it states that in UTF-8, no byte can have a value higher than hex-F4. On Sat, 6 Apr 2013, Anthonys Lists wrote: On 05/04/2013 23:37, Bob Rasmussen wrote: * The codes
