That makes it copmpatible an not dissrupting of currently used stuff like scripts and such. If the character is not ascii (i.e. other language) it will grow in size. You seem to be thinking of a plain implementation of unicode. If you want 16 bit wide characters you need to convert utf8 into another encoding. Now I know that much only, but you could check on iconv/libc's man/info page for more info. -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
