Hello, > In Latin-9 the Euro-sign is defined as 0xA4 (hexadecimal char code > is 'A4'), while MS introduced the Euro-sign in Latin-1 (where it in > fact AIN'T defined) with 0x80.
Microsoft didn't change Latin-1. Microsoft has defined its own charsets, e.g. windows-1252 is used in german versions of Windows. These charsets are standardized and based on Latin-1 (at least in many cases), i.e. are supersets. > In Latin-9 '0x80' is the 'sun' you describe (IIRC and 'international > currency symbol') while in Latin-1 this 'sun' is '0xA4'. > So there's a cross-reference between Latin-1 and Latin-9 Not quite correct: the 'sun' has been replaced by the Euro-sign. AFAIK there's no character defined at position 0x80 in Latin-9, the 'sun' is simply missing as are some other characters, too (e.g. acute accent which some used as a kind of apostrophe). -- Greetings, Patrick ________________________________________________________ Current Ver: 1.60q FAQ : http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Bug Reports: https://bt.ritlabs.com
