Here's the stark simple recipe: when you use Unicode, you *MUST* switch to a Unicode-centric view of the universe. Therefore you encode *FROM* Unicode and you decode *TO* Unicode. Period. It's similar to the way floating point contaminates ints. -- Aahz ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ "19.
