Hmmmm. In that case, sounds like I'll just have to deal with it somehow. Based on your theory, do you have an idea about how I could potentially re-encode a string? Even if there is an issue with encoding, so long as whatever happens is not lossy, I should be able to "get back" my characters, no? Or, any other ideas for a workaround? The only thing I can think of right now is writing the arguments to a file. I don't have encoding problems with file I/O, only when I use stdin. Cheers, =David
