Really? I thought Unicode did make the promise that these codes would never be assigned. On the other hand I don't think Perl make the promise that it'll always handle them. I've often wished that Perl did make this promise as like the OP says it would be really handy to have "characters" that could be used in Perl strings but that could not appear in any valid Unicode input file. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
