It's a triplet of the hex chars, xe2, x80, x90, which should be seeable by getchar() [[or *not*?]]. The octal are 0342, 0200, and 0220. The first is, is a-circumflex. Why doesn't if ((ch1 = getchar()) == '\0342') or, more simply, if ((ch1 = getchar()) == '\342') catch the first? Is getchar limited to only 7 bytes?? tx, gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix http://jottings.thought.org http://transfinite.thought.org
