Hmm...interesting. Not entirely sure what the implications of what you are saying are (as I don't really understand codepages). Does a codepage represent a character with 16 bits? or 8? Could you recommend a book or a URL on the subject? Maybe I should look at this when I have more time (I'm in the middle of a move).
