AFAIK, UTF-8 is backward compatible with ASCII. UTF-16 is not. That's whyWell, with 7-bit ASCII - yes. With 8-bit "extended ASCII", whatever that means - not exactly. You can have 8-bit strings that aren't valid UTF-8 and can't be translated to UTF-8 without specifying the encoding (iso-889-1 or something like that). -- Stanislav Malyshev, Zend Software Architect stas@zend.com http://www.zend.com/ (408)253-8829 MSN: stas@zend.com
