As long as there are multiple charactersets you will have the problem of some characters being shown wrong. This is nothing particular for UTF-8, you have the problem even when choosing between the 10+ different ISO-8859. The only thing that UTF-8 introduce is the variable byte length characters so you can't equate no. bytes with no. characters. Cheers, Erik -- M: +34 666 334 818 T: +34 915 211 157
