Sorry, this was my mistake. IE8 on Windows 7 displayed James's "angry" line like this: ヾ(@゜・・・・逅察・・縫吏・ォ趁占コ碣ュ処腫徐ぢヽ(#`Д´)ノ - angry The only "private-use" character was something that got transcoded to U+E559, and IE8 displayed that as a space, not a dot. But a quick look at the ISO-2022-JP source shows this isn't right at all. So I guess I did have trouble viewing it, maybe not a crash, but severe mojibake. -- Doug Ewell | Thornton, CO, USA http://ewellic.org | @DougEwell _______________________________________________ Unicode mailing list [email protected] http://unicode.org/mailman/listinfo/unicode
