(This is at the low-level terminal interface which doesn't know about multibyte characters.) The PRINT_EIGHT_BIT option is really a fallback. The shell should work out based on the correct UTF-8 rules whether a character is printable or not without PRINT_EIGHT_BIT. If it's turned on, it will simply shrug its shoulders if it doesn't recognise a character and print it anyway. So you should have better results if you turn it off. If you don't there's a bug or a setting wrong somewhere. -- Peter Stephenson Software Engineer CSR PLC, Churchill House, Cambridge Business Park, Cowley Road Cambridge, CB4 0WZ, UK Tel: +44 (0)1223 692070 To access the latest news from CSR copy this link into a web browser: http://www.csr.com/email_sig.php
