Nice! Of course, the drawback is that one must have a Unicode chart at hand, but this is clearly much better than having to convert codes to decimal. I wonder whether anyone considered implementing an IME based on mnemonic codes, such as those described in RFC 1345 (http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1345.html)? _ Marco
