Yes, I assumed in my examples that both computers support both encodings. Glibc supports all well-known 8-bit character sets since 2.1 (released in 1999), Unicode and its transcripts since 2.2 (2000).

You'll get the same letters (i.e. different byte sequences) in the two apps. -- Egmont -- Linux-UTF8: i18n of Linux on all levels Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/
