So, sqlite supports UTF8 directly - UTF8 in, UTF8 out. I suppose this applies to the shell program also? And then, ICU adds internal unicode sorting, searching and case conversion. The spatialite unicode support seems to be conversion routines to/from UTF8 in the shell when the shell uses some other encoding. I guess this doesn't worry me since OSX defaults to UTF8 in the shell, and I'm more interested in the library. I'll have to play with it a bit to see for sure. ----- William Kyngesburye <kyngchaos*at*kyngchaos*dot*com> http://www.kyngchaos.com/ "We are at war with them.
