Ok let's see how this displays with UTF8 unicode <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />
<snipped all the meaningless character sequence>
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />
Not sure if that itte belongs there <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
It is up to the user to select MS Arial Unicode as a font for an example or just assign a specific language for decoding the encoded text.
The string that was snipped had no meaning of course even though I could read some unrelated kanji when Japanese was selected. I could have selected Chinese or any other language that utilises the 16 bit character codes but it would still have no meaning. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
