Note Submitter: roope.havu@helsinki.fi ---- ASCII is a 7-bit encoding, so there is no such thing as ASCII 228. Now 8-bit extensions of ASCII like ISO-8859-1 (Latin-1) do have a codepoint numbered 228, which is 'ä'. But other 8-bit ISO-8859-encodings might not have 'ä' at 228, and some are not even supersets of ASCII like ISO-8859-5 (Cyrillic). In Unicode, 'ä' also occupies the codepoint 228, but that would only be its encoding in UCS-2 (or UCS-4, I suppose), while in UTF-8 'ä' would be encoded to a 16-bit value, namely 0xc3 0xa4. But in ASCII, 'ä' is not 228, for in ASCII neither 'ä' nor 228 exist. Amazing how some people get so worked up by character encodings isn't it? I'll stop now... BTW: täyte = 'mansikka' translates as filling = 'strawberry' (Or was this some big secret?)
