How is that more useful? Aside from storage optimizations (in which the significant breaks would be Latin-1, UCS-2, and UCS-4), the BMP is not significantly different from the rest of Unicode. Also, the expansion from 16-bit was back in Unicode 2.0, not 7.0. Why do you keep talking about 7.0 as if it's a recent change? ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
