Right.

Except this German case (I remember very old typewriters), what are the other languages presenting this kind of allowed feature ? Just as a reminder. They are 1272 characters considered as Latin characters (how to count them it not a simple task), and if my knowledge is correct, they are covering and/or are here to cover the 17 languages, to be exact, the 17 European languages based on a Latin alphabet which can not be covered with iso-8859-1. And of course, logically, they are very, very badly handled with the Flexible String Representation. jmf -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
