The quick and dirty: in Unicode there is more than one way to represent "ä". You can represent it as "ä" or "a" followed by a special 'character' umlaut. There might be more, I'm not that much of an expert. Which form you use is call the normal form: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_equivalence The OS X filesystem API's expect only one (IIRC Normal-D). If you use all the proper APIs and modern conventions you won't have a problem. If you don't understand things and use the wrong APIs, do some destructive intermediary conversions, or use old APIs then things won't always work like they are supposed to. My *guess* is that when you type it in you get Normal-C and when you copy it from Finder you get Normal-D. But that's just a guess. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
