Yes, and yet no.
With NLS enabled, internal storage uses an idiosyncratic variant of UTF8 (sometimes called UV-UTF8) in which the mark characters Char(248) through Char(255) are always preserved as single-byte characters, so that the usual occupants of these Unicode code points are re-mapped to the "user defined" area.
I did once publish (on this forum) the rules for UV-UTF8 encoding, so they should be in the archives. In particular, it's not two bytes per character; it's somewhere between one and four bytes per character.
So it sounds like I have a reasonble chance of expecting any search string I pass to an LDAP server to be in UTF8 as long as I parse the user input with uniseq and unichar.
thanks again Ray.
