No, because Google transcodes everything into UTF-8 as soon as it starts to process it. What I can say (auct. Mark Davis) is that UTF-16 documents in all formats represent much less than 0.1% of the searchable Web. By contrast, UTF-8 (including ASCII) amounts to 80% of it. This reflects actual rather than declared encodings, and is as of January 2012. -- So they play that [tune] on John Cowan their fascist banjos, eh? cowan@xxxxxxxx --Great-Souled Sam http://www.ccil.org/~cowan
