Of course it can, because there is no such problem. Whoever thought there was never looked at the UTF-8 encoding rules. *All* ANSI characters below 0x80 are encoded as themselves; this includes all control characters. The UTF-8 bytes all
have the top bit set, so as ASCII would appear to be in the range 0x80-0xFF, *never* below 0x80. Jeremy H. Griffith <jhgriffith@gmail.com> http://udoc2go.com
