AFAIK (I haven't actually used it as a default language, but I do know some details of their encodings) There are two main "issues" with the windows CJK encodings regarding ASCII compatibility: - There is a different symbol (a currency symbol) at 0x5c. Sort of. Most unicode translations of it will treat it as a backslash, and users do expect it to work for things like \n, path separators, etc, but it displays as ¥ or ₩. - Dual-byte characters can have ASCII bytes as their *second* byte. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
