No, that document just makes it clear that no matter how a character is composed, Twitter will always accept 140 characters. Raffi has made it plain (because I bluntly asked) that 140 character -- not just byte -- tweets are kosher. Even if they're not in Hebrew. I think the OP's problem is in handling entities, not UTF-8. -- ------------------------------------ personal: http://www.cameronkaiser.com/ -- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * ckai...@floodgap.com -- Po-Ching Lives! ------------------------------------------------------------
