This does not mean, that the data structure representing a sequence of "letters" has to follow exactly the "working" you cited above. That data structure must only enable it efficiently. If a requirement for sequences of letters is, that a sequence `s' of letters indexed by some natural number `n' gives the letter `s[n]' and that is not efficiently possible, than unicode and its "workings" are as maldesigned as the alphabet Gutenberg has to take to produce books: take randomly an ancient book `b' and randomly a letter `c'. Then try to verify that `b[ 314.159] == c'. Of course you are allowed to read only one letter. -manfred
