That was very useful - thanks! Hopefully, I'm "all Unicode" now.

in a similar vein, i wrote a shorter blog post awhile ago that focuses
specifically on string processing:
http://wesc.livejournal.com/1743.html ... in it, i also describe the
correct way of thinking about strings in these contexts... the
difference between a string that represents data vs. a "string" which
is made up of various bytes, as in binary files.
hope this helps!
