The letter "y-acute" (hex 00FD, dec 235) is essential for Czech. If I import UTF-16 text from a file or copy it from an application, this character displays as the well-known Apple trademark (on a Mac with 10.3.6. RR 2.5). The htmltext of a field with this character will be < p>&yacute;< /p> (spaces deliberately inserted to avoid messing up mailreaders).

I can type this character from the keyboard (Unicode Hex Input kbd, opt+00FD) and it shows up fine. The htmltext is < p>< font face="Geneva" lang="en-UC">&#253;< /font>< /p>. I can fix the problem in a way with an ugly replace hack in the htmltext, but it won't put its head down - if add add text to a field by:

set the unicodetext of fld 1 to the unicodetext of fld 1 & the unicodetext of fld 2

- then any proper y-acutes in field 2 are again converted into apples when added to field 1. I can avoid this by clumsy copy-and-paste routines, but this shouldn't be necessary.

I have reported this as a bug some time under 2.0 (#542), but it was returned as non-reproducible.
