Doing so would need that Parrot has initimate knowledge of the encoding. OTOH you are writing that we don't convert in the first place. Seems to be a contradiction. > (u)getstring Sw, Sx, Iy, Iz > (u)setstring Sw, Sx, Iy, Iz Does that mean that the current C<substr> opcodes get tossed? > encoding Ix, Sy > charset Ix, Sy How do we enumerate encodings and charsets? ICU's ucnv interface takes an "encoding name". leo
