Technically yes, but by omitting UTf-16 you are excluding most of the world (Java, C#/.NET, Windows). UCS-2 doesn't cover all Unicode code points, but it could be that Windows/Java limits itself to UCS-2 rather than using full UTF-16. I have never needed to use UTF-32, so who actually uses it? Karl
