Adarsh Do you mean the physical keyboard (hardware) or the keyboard driver (software)??? Physical keyboards are pretty much the same whatever the script of the glyphs printed on the keys. Its the software that interprets the key presses and sends characters on that matters. - Chris -- Chris

Keyboard drivers under Windows 2000 input characters as Unicode. Since Windows 2000 is Unicode-based, all Windows 2000 applications should have no problem in handling such Unicode input. Older platforms are a bit different. Seem to recall seeing a few different "work-arounds". One method is to

Stephen, Only the 7 bit ASCII characters are the same. UTF-8 encodes characters so that you can tell how many bytes the character will take from the value of the first byte of the character. 0x00 - 0x7F = 1 byte 0xC0 - 0xDF = 2 bytes 0xE0 - 0xEF = 3 bytes 0xF0 - 0xF7 = 4 bytes 0x80 - 0xBF is u
