Considering all of the support that exists for properly storing, transmitting, transcoding, and collating precomposed characters, I do not think anyone but the zealots are calling them "bad". They are a part of Unicode. If there is some reason that you find it prudent to use them, then use them.... MichKa Michael Kaplan Trigeminal Software, Inc. -- http://www.trigeminal.com/
