Everything you say is correct *except* for the need to encode Dutch ij as a single character, which is neither necessary nor practical. (U+0132 and U+0133 are encoded for compatibility only.) In cases where ij is a digraph in Dutch text, i+ZWNJ+j will be effective. -- "Kill Gorgïn! Kill orc-folk! John Cowan No other words please Wild Men.
