Huh? Such as what? I's very unusual to apply a coding-system to a piece of text that is not within the safe-chars of that coding-system. I'd say it's *not* user-visible. > Is it the right thing in general? I think so. If you want to allow and deal with non-latin-N chars, you should use the iso-latin-N-with-esc version of the coding-system. Stefan
