I taught myself to read a bit of SJIS mojibake, partly from studying the scrambled output of my clock program with fullwidth digits. (glitch plus O = 0. Glitch plus P = 1, etc., I think) Anyone else here can read mojibake? What is the English word for mojibake? Isn't Unicode mojibake three mojibake per character, rather than just two like in SJIS? How do you fix this, anyway? Like if you have a lot of Unicode text, so you don't need the extra byte. Maybe 2 1/2 bytes per character would be good. I mean for the extra planes and all. You guys could make a script for this in 10 minutes. *** JUUICHIKETAJIN *** ___________________________________________________________________ Get your own FREE Bolt Onebox - FREE voicemail, email, and fax, all in one place - sign up at http://www.bolt.com
