Note that counting codepoints, while it happens to help with your particular data, won't help in general. Consider combining diacritics: U+00E4 (small A with diaeresis) looks the same as U+0061 U+0308 (small letter A + combining diaeresis) when printed on the console. -- Igor Tandetnik _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
