Risto, Thanks for the help, but I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT! I'm not a geek, and although I understand UTF-8, I have never worked in hex, or even Latex. (I did a bit of document editing in TeX about 20 years ago with my son's very close coaching, but that's it.)
What I need to know here (and it's not a big deal -- I have a workaround) is *if* I am in UTF-8 -- how to tell in jEdit, and *how* to put it into that mode if I am not. Any help available?
