1. CESU-8 should *never* be auto-detected. CESU-8 is intended for internal use only. Even the TR says this. 2. CESU-8 has nothing to do with overlong sequences. They're just as invalid there as in UTF-8. So I really don't know how CESU-8 got dragged into this thread in the first place. -Doug Ewell Fullerton, California http://users.adelphia.net/~dewell/
