And here is a nice artible about Unicode and encodings: http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/Unicode.html -- Leandro Lucarella (AKA luca) http://llucax.com.ar/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GPG Key: 5F5A8D05 (F8CD F9A7 BF00 5431 4145 104C 949E BFB6 5F5A 8D05) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- He cometido pecados, he hecho el mal, he sido víctima de la envidia, el egoísmo, la ambición, la mentira y la frivolidad, pero siempre he sido un padre argentino que quiere que su hijo triunfe en la vida. -- Ricardo Vaporeso
