In brief, UTF-7 attempts to represent unicode in a 7bit character set, this means some characters from a 7bit set need to be used for control sequences and have to be encoded. In practice only "+" really has to be, but all the 'optional direct characters' might be, see <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-7>. Contrast UTF-8 where all low-byte characters are 'un-encoded' and only high byte characters are used in the multi-byte codes. > Anyway, after all this hijacking of my original message, had anybody > else tried what I did to make Skype work?
