   thanks for this as it definitely demonstrates my previous "multiple   
   translations ad nausm" point that i was trying to make... now your three   
   characters (0xe2 0x95 0xa3) have been translated to 6 characters (0xCE 0x93   
   0xC3 0xB2 0xC3 0xBA) and if you quote the above line back to me again, it'll   
   have each one of those 6 also translated which will then result in 12   
   characters ;)

   yup :)
