You don't need such guarantee for now. If it ever occurs later, you may code exceptions to the rule. But I doubt it will happen. You can be very confident that if a character has a decimal property, it will have the same integer property and the same numeric property. Then if a character has no decimal property but a integer property, it will also have the same numeric property. __________________________________________________________________ << ella for Spam Control >> has removed Spam messages and set aside Newsletters for me You can use it too - and it's FREE! http://www.ellaforspam.com
