Sorry, I was trying to say 16-bit Unicode without saying UTF-16 (which is not the same). And regarding Java... the 'char' data type is /defined/ to be 16-bits wide (http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/third_edition/html/typesValues.html#4.2.1). Has this changed? When? (And how!?) I always thought it was weird for Java to use 16-bit Unicode internally, but then use UTF-8 for all serialized strings.

I usually spell it with an 'M'. ;) - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkjKomMACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PC1OQCeP8FkNni/J320StYPF4lNeQWi o84AnReYYyjaF+ljUub4wJ2HSkcOA3Jk =JJir -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
