This is an input issue. : : Hmm... but the characters in question were already (at least in the : examples used) in "something" Unicode (&#nnnnn;).

The Chinese characters in question were already converted to their HTML numeric character references. That's because someone made the conscious and purposeful decision to provide the correct Unicode decimal numbers for those Chinese characters. Your concern about accepting CJKV data is vague because you don't explain the source of the data or the encoding method of the data. You must determine these critical bits of info before you can decide how to display the data. There's no guarantee that the user will send you CJKV data in nice HTML numeric character references. I'm not even sure exactly what you're trying to do. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
