Sandeep,   Big5 is the DBCS encoding used for traditional Chinese characters (Taiwan Chinese).  It can not be used for Korean.  It uses code page 950.   UTF-8 is a Unicode encoding.   Carl   -----Original Message----- From: Sandeep Krishna [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, September 27, 2000 10:57 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Carl W.
