You don't have a guarantee of much in the future, except as indicated in the Unicode stability policies. Realistically, however, you're probably not going to see the addition of more hex digits, because all sixteen of them are already represented in the standard. > How do I write an algorithm which will convert Unicode hex characters > to hexadecimal which is guaranteed to work for all future versions > of Unicode? Use 0-9, A-F, a-f. Rick
