i would stronly recommend you use StrConv for the non-UTF-8 ones though,
because it is roughly twice as fast (the slowness of Declare statements in

Title: Win32: Commandline/batch ANSI-UTF8-UTF16-UTF8-ANSI conversion tools
Are there any Win32 command line or batch ANSI to Unicode conversions tools out there?
Desired conversions are:

- Windows-1252 to UTF-16
- UTF-8 to Windows-1252

Your question is essentially "How do I mix characters encoded in more than
one character set on a single page?"
A normal page has one document and that one document will expect characters
to be encoded in the character set specified in the meta tag in the header.
It is possible to have a compound

Unicode is a plain text encoding standard. Fonts can and should supply the

XML, like any conformant Unicode process, excludes *unpaired* surrogates.
Surrogate-pair characters may be used, though not in XML names, only
in character data. They may appear as themselves or using character

Thank you - that solves the conundrum.

NS 4.x is simply not very good at this sort of thing. The only real solution
is to use an encoding that will support the characters, such as UTF-8.

Hi Unicoders,
I am working on software to emit HTML in the encoding
and character set of the user's choice, from SGML/XML
documents which can contain any Plane 1 Unicode character.
The question is what to do with characters outside the
selected encoding. I thought I would use the "numeric"

In HTML or XML you always use the code point (e.g. UTF-32), not a series of
code units (UTF-8 or UTF-16). Thus you would use:

I do not have the confidence which you do in the Ethnologue's taxonomy or
in its freedom from error, Peter. The 50+ document requirement for ISO
639-2 is not unreasonable. Languages should be proposed for inclusion in
ISO 639 wherever appropriate. Other languages can be proposed via RFC 1766.

How can one encode a surrogate character as an entity in HTML/XML? Should
it be as two separate characters or as one 32-bit value? In other words
should it be:

or

One option is Word2000. Just open the text file and
the UI for trying different encodings should appear. If it doesn't you can
force it to appear by setting on Tools/Options/General/Confirm conversions on
open. Then when you open the file, choose the type to be Encoded text.
