That's a good question. U+FFFE and U+FFFF are noncharacters, so they're not permitted in normal interchange, but I'm not sure whether the UTF-8 sequences that represent them are themselves illegal. For that matter, if we are excluding the noncharacters U+xxFFFE and U+xxFFFF, on whatever basis, then we also have to exclude the range U+FDD0 through U+FDEF. I missed that in my earlier post. -Doug Ewell Fullerton, California http://users.adelphia.net/~dewell/
