Nicolas, check out the unicodedata module: http://docs.python.org/lib/module-unicodedata.html Find "import unicodedata" on this page for how to use it: http://www.amk.ca/python/howto/unicode I'm not sure if it has built-in support for finding which language block a character is in, but a table like this might help you: http://www.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/Blocks.txt -- Brian Beck Adventurer of the First Order -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
