Re: Re: UTF characters

Well, you've already written the code. All characters in XML are unicode
characters.

I guess you might be asking about characters that are in the Unicode character
set, but not in some other more restricted character set - perhaps US-ASCII.

One way would be to use translate to list all the characters you wish to
ignore, and replacing them with the empty string. Then if the translated
string was not empty, you'd know you had a character not in the original
set...

across a UTF character, and please note that the input can have any UTF from
its generic family.
