Yep, I checked. I opened the output file in vim. It definitely was an actual '?' character. If it was the E00; character, there should've been the three bytes E4 BD A0 in there (that's the UTF-8 encoding of 4E00). > Since you are using a character entity in the source doc, it seems unlikely > that your text editor for the source could be the cause, and since the output > encoding is UTF-8 it seems unlikely that the character is lost on output.

Wish it was such a simple error on my part. Thanks, Cameron -- Cameron McCormack // [EMAIL PROTECTED] // http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~clm/ // icq 26955922
