    Brian> Hi Skip, what information are you looking for?

I was just hoping for a couple examples of how to use the unicodedata
module.  Now that I know there's no simple "ellipsis", I can get
unicodedata.lookup() to work.  I guess I'm well on my way and have to figure
out why my heuristic decoder didn't guess right.

Thx,
