Works fine for me, probably because my copy of Notepad is so old it has never heard of Unicode... Here's another test: echoUTF8.php: ------------- <?php require 'echoUTF8sub.php'; echoUTF8sub.php: ---------------- <?php echo "\xef\xbb\xbf", "test\n"; // Manual BOM When I run this from a browser, I get different output depend on the server's and browser's default charset, and PHP's "default_charset" setting. I get consistent results when I add header ('Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8'); to echoUTF8.php. (When the scripts are run from command-line, the output would also depend on the shells ability to handle utf-8.) /Nisse
