There's no such thing as "UTF-8 codepoints". They're *Unicode* codepoints. The difference is between character répertoire and encoding algorithm. Character répertoires are about characters: encoding schemes are about bytes (octets). I think you're talking about raw UTF-8 bytes; as other have suggested, you should be using CHARACTER SET OCTETS. Which means no characters, just bytes (octets). > where you see that some bytes are forbidden in ISO8859_1 ? > firebird never complain about it ! Then it could be said this is a bug, like here: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/firebird-support/message/112680 http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/CORE-3416 -- Michael Ludwig
