I meant U+FEFF as a zero-width no-break space. Obviously it is very common to see U+FEFF as a signature or BOM. My underlying question here is, how common is it that the producer of a stream actually intends this character *at the start of a stream* to be a ZWNBSP, not to be stripped lest the actual text content be altered? -- Doug Ewell | Thornton, CO, USA http://ewellic.org | @DougEwell _______________________________________________ Unicode mailing list Unicode@unicode.org http://unicode.org/mailman/listinfo/unicode
