It seems quite confusing to me. This raw-byte char is what used to be called an eight-bit-control (or eight-bit-graphic depending on the actual value) char. I.e. "\xa0" is treated as a string that contains the \xa0 byte (i.e. an eight-bit-* (aka raw-byte) char) rather than the \xa0 char (a latin-1 non-breaking space). Stefan
