Subject: RE: [xsl] 8bit ascii encoding From: "Andrew Welch" <awelch@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 27 Aug 2002 10:43:43 +0100 |
Thanks for all the responses, I still haven't been able to resolve the problem but at least Ive learnt a *lot* about encoding. One theoretical question that would help: If I choose utf-8 as my output encoding, there will be no BOM and characters in the original ascii range will be output exactly as if I had chosen ascii...? (0-127) So in theory, any program that takes the output, copies it byte-for-byte and adds some its own bytes in ascii, would maintain the original utf-8 encoding (therefore any program told to read it in utf-8 would be successful). Is this sound? cheers andrew > -----Original Message----- > From: Michael Leditschke [mailto:mike@xxxxxxxxxxx] > Sent: 24 August 2002 07:03 > To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: RE: [xsl] 8bit ascii encoding > > > > > > If my chars are two bytes each then Im using utf-16, but utf-8 can > > consist of 1-5bytes per char...
