Yes, that would be better. UCS-2 is identical to UTF-16, except it doesn't support non-BMP characters and therefore doesn't have surrogate pairs. UCS-4 is functionally equivalent to UTF-16, as far as I can tell. (I'm not really sure what the difference is.) -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
