   Hey mark!

   I recall reading that and at the time finding absolutely zero references to   
   back that up.  I just tried again with no success.  I am not sure where that   
   idea comes from and the closest I could find is the well documented c1 control   
   codes.  It wouldn't surprise me if there was some propietary usage for 0x8d as   
   a soft line break but finding a reference to back it up is a bit of a   
   challenge if not indeed impossible.   
      
    ml> not sure how that will come out because it is being interpreted   
    ml> as a two byte character here :(   
      
   I 'see' it as a nonprintable 8 bit character corresponding to 0x8d which is   
   indeed a c1 control code.  Converting it to utf-8 from cp437 yields the   
   character in question which in 8 bit hex-speak corresponds to the two bytes   
   c3ac as demonstrated below;   
      
   -={ ':read !echo -e "\u00ec is the same as \xc3\xac"' starts }=-   
   ì is the same as ì   
   -={ ':read !echo -e "\u00ec is the same as \xc3\xac"' ends }=-   
      
   It is too easy.   
      
   Life is good,
