> Yes. I mixed up Unicode and ISO 10646 which I was thinking about. For practical purposes, they are the same. Specifically, Unicode 2.0 is ISO/IEC 10646-1:1993, Information Technology - Universal Multiple-Octet Character Set (CS) - Part 1: Architecture and Basic Multilingual Plane. Since there are no characters so far defined in 10646 outside the Basic Multilingual Plane, at this point Unicode == 10646. > ISO 10646 had a code HOP which could be used to select a default > value (i.e. a state) for the higher order bits. Since 10646 is not a byte-stream protocol, that does not make sense. Are you sure you're not thinking of an older standard, such as ISO 2022? --Per Bothner Cygnus Solutions bothner@cygnus.com http://www.cygnus.com/~bothner
