Ville Skyttä. The final character is a-umlaut. In ISO Latin 1 it's code 0xE4. This gives 0x64 ('d') if the top bit is reset. If vowel-umlaut can't be represented, Finns usually just substitute the base vowel character, so you get Ville Skytta (cf. the email address). > FWIW: the xml is and I thought > that encoding would handle those characters. Yes, but for some reason it was written in a different encoding. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber naddy@mips.inka.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
