Or am I missing > something? You're missing the fact that codes 128-255 can be one of two different things, depending on context: - for "unibyte chars", it's an "eight-bit" char (a byte) - for "multibyte chars", it's a latin-1 char (not a byte). See multibyte-char-to-unibyte and unibyte-char-to-multibyte. Stefan
