In ISO8859-1, "A" is '41'x, So, the same characters but at different code points. The tagging matters.
Yes, apparently IBM-273 and ISO8859-1 encode the same graphemes at different code points. Why are there multiple CECPs? It seems any one would suffice. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
