I'm guessing you would see the UTF8 codes in your string. For example: "Euro symbol is €" would be read as "Euro symbol is âR¬" The 3 characters at the start indicate a UTF8 string (0xEF, 0xBB, 0xBF). The Euro symbol in UTF8 is 0xE2, 0x82, 0xAC Note: I am using Windows Latin code page 1252, other code pages will show different characters. > Is there a equation explaining that conversion? > Can I undo the "damage" caused by the conversion? It depends what you are doing with it. An ActiveX control *might* understand this as a UTF8 string? To be honest, you are probably better learning a Unicode aware language! Dot net & Java use UTF16 internally for all strings. -- Paul _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/cadwx0+ls7ehox__qg8vhywgtoafsphu064kzsk9z1onlk_m...@mail.gmail.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
