RE: converting ISO 8859-1 character set text to ASCII (128)charactet set

2001-06-20 Thread Murray Sargent
If you need to roundtrip 8859-1 through ASCII, you need to use some kind of escape mechanism inside the ASCII to represent characters that have their high bit equal to one. A common simple escape is to use the backslash. So you could represent the codes as \'xx, where xx is the hexadecimal code. F

Well, the good news is that ASCII is a proper subset of Latin-1. By that, I mean that every ASCII character is also a Latin-1 character, with the exact same bit encoding in an 8-bit byte (an "octet"). Of course, ASCII is a 7-bit encoding (coded character set), but it is very frequently repre
