I hope so. ;-) > Could you please point out where in the proposal do you see that a > character can be encoded in multiple ways? I think now that the surrogate stuff has been explained, the encoding to to UCS-E (Unicode-compatible Character Set for Emacs) is indeed unambiguous. However, UTF-E (the buffer encoding) opens possibilities for different encodings of the same UCS-E code point, but this can be resolved, I think. -- Linux-UTF8: i18n of Linux on all levels Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/
