Hi Phil, Howard

Actually, Kanji is normally read from top to bottom, right to left... but 
thankfully most of probably don't have to deal with it like that... :-)

Another of Devin's useful articles on Unicode is this lesson:

http://lessons.runrev.com/m/4067/l/20441

The function below might be useful for you too, in converting from your source 
data to Revolution format unicode text:

function getRevTextFromUTF8 theText
  return unidecode(uniencode(theText,"utf8"))
end getRevTextFromUTF8

although you might be working with UTF16 in which case put "utf16" in place of 
"utf8".

Hope some of that helps - good luck!

If not, try posting a portion of your file somewhere for us to test on.

cheers

Alan
