I rather like the Microsoft approach of assigning them to the PUA range F000-F0FF, which sort of preserves the pseudo-ASCII nature of them without interfering with semantic text processing that assigns ASCII semantics to the 0000-00FF codepoints. -- John Cowan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.reutershealth.com I amar prestar aen, han mathon ne nen, http://www.ccil.org/~cowan han mathon ne chae, a han noston ne 'wilith. --Galadriel, _LOTR:FOTR_
