   Hi Maurice,   
      
    HG> Yes, that is true for letters but for various other characters   
    HG> the first byte is DA.   
      
   MK> The only characters that are prefixed (start) with DA, range from   
   MK> U+0680 (DA80) to U+06BF (DABF) and are all Arabic characters   
   MK> (letters).   
      
   I was probably confused when interpreting dec/hex conversion.   
      
   I was looking for the hyphen and citation characters and the euro sign.   
      
   Even though sitting with a hex/dec conversion table in front of me, I   
   can't get my brain to understand today.   
      
   With decimal interpretation I get the citation mark as 218 128 157.   
      
   MK> ... GrÃ¥t inte för mig jag har vi.   
      
   Nej, jag gr†ter inte och jag saknar inte vi    
      
      
   Have a good night,
