Charles, x'C2AC' is the logical not symbol in UTF-8. Are you sure that you are translating to 1252?
When I display the translate table for 1047->1252 using Unicode Services, it appears to be single bye -> single byte: Here is a dump using the "showtrtab" command (part of the free Co:Z Toolkit) - > *showtrtab -s 1047 -t 1252* 00: 00 01 02 03 1A 09 1A 7F 1A 8D 8E 0B 0C 0D 0E 0F 10: 10 11 12 13 9D 0A 08 1A 18 19 1A 8F 1C 1D 1E 1F 20: 80 81 1A 1A 1A 1A 17 1B 1A 1A 1A 1A 1A 05 06 07 30: 90 1A 16 1A 1A 1A 1A 04 1A 1A 1A 1A 14 15 9E 1A 40: 20 A0 E2 E4 E0 E1 E3 E5 E7 F1 A2 2E 3C 28 2B 7C 50: 26 E9 EA EB E8 ED EE EF EC DF 21 24 2A 29 3B 5E 60: 2D 2F C2 C4 C0 C1 C3 C5 C7 D1 A6 2C 25 5F 3E 3F 70: F8 C9 CA CB C8 CD CE CF CC 60 3A 23 40 27 3D 22 80: D8 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 AB BB F0 FD FE B1 90: B0 6A 6B 6C 6D 6E 6F 70 71 72 AA BA E6 B8 C6 A4 A0: B5 7E 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 7A A1 BF D0 5B DE AE B0: AC A3 A5 B7 A9 A7 B6 BC BD BE DD A8 AF 5D B4 D7 C0: 7B 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 AD F4 F6 F2 F3 F5 D0: 7D 4A 4B 4C 4D 4E 4F 50 51 52 B9 FB FC F9 FA FF E0: 5C F7 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 5A B2 D4 D6 D2 D3 D5 F0: 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 B3 DB DC D9 DA 1A Kirk Wolf Dovetailed Technologies http://dovetail.com FWIW: here is how showtrtab displays a one->many table: >*showtrtab -s 1047 -t utf-8* 00: 00 01: 01 02: 02 03: 03 04: C29C 05: 09 06: C286 07: 7F 08: C297 09: C28D 0A: C28E 0B: 0B 0C: 0C ...
