If you're really trying to display that character in latin1, yes it will fail because this is not a latin1 character. When converting to java unicode escapes, first 128 latin1/ascii characters are unchanged and remaining 128 characters are \u0080 to \u00ff, as you can see with this: [EMAIL PROTECTED] /tmp] perl -e 'print chr($_), " " foreach 128..255' > t.p [EMAIL PROTECTED] /tmp] native2ascii -encoding latin1 t.p \u0080 \u0081 \u0082 \u0083 \u0084 \u0085 \u0086 \u0087 \u0088 \u0089 \u008a \u008b \u008c \u008d \u008e \u008f \u0090 \u0091 \u0092 \u0093 \u0094 \u0095 \u0096 \u0097 \u0098 \u0099 \u009a \u009b \u009c \u009d \u009e \u009f \u00a0 \u00a1 \u00a2 \u00a3 \u00a4 \u00a5 \u00a6 \u00a7 \u00a8 \u00a9 \u00aa \u00ab \u00ac \u00ad \u00ae \u00af \u00b0 \u00b1 \u00b2 \u00b3 \u00b4 \u00b5 \u00b6 \u00b7 \u00b8 \u00b9 \u00ba \u00bb \u00bc \u00bd \u00be \u00bf \u00c0 \u00c1 \u00c2 \u00c3 \u00c4 \u00c5 \u00c6 \u00c7 \u00c8 \u00c9 \u00ca \u00cb \u00cc \u00cd \u00ce \u00cf \u00d0 \u00d1 \u00d2 \u00d3 \u00d4 \u00d5 \u00d6 \u00d7 \u00d8 \u00d9 \u00da \u00db \u00dc \u00dd \u00de \u00df \u00e0 \u00e1 \u00e2 \u00e3 \u00e4 \u00e5 \u00e6 \u00e7 \u00e8 \u00e9 \u00ea \u00eb \u00ec \u00ed \u00ee \u00ef \u00f0 \u00f1 \u00f2 \u00f3 \u00f4 \u00f5 \u00f6 \u00f7 \u00f8 \u00f9 \u00fa \u00fb \u00fc \u00fd \u00fe \u00ff You can also verify that trying to convert to latin1 doesn't change your character: [EMAIL PROTECTED] /tmp] echo "\u0119 - \u00ea" > t.p [EMAIL PROTECTED] /tmp] native2ascii -encoding latin1 -reverse t.p \u0119 - ê Check the html sourcecode in the browser to see what's actually being transmitted. Verify the encoding/charset specified in the document header and how the character is actually encoded in the page. -- Guillaume Cottenceau --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
