I just tossed a couple of file from http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/examples/ into a few apps that are supposed to support UTF-8 (emacs, vim, firefox) and the results were underwhelming. Skimming the description of xterm support for UTF-8 gives some appreciation for how complex this crap is (http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/unicode.html#xterm). That said, I'm a bit tired of explaining to my kids why I'm typing in black and white terminal windows in the age of HTML5 ;^) Thanks, Phil
