   Hola Holger!   
      
    HG> OK, the code 218 128 162 that i interpreted as hyphen actually   
    HG> is the longer 'dash'.   
      
   I am not sure what you mean but using 218 (DA) as the leading byte means you   
   are restricted to a 2 byte or 16 bit character and not a 24 bit character that   
   is required for euro sign in utf8.  The way the leading byte works is like   
   this;   
      
   dec 218 = bin 11011010   
                   ^   
   The first zero shows that there are two leading ones which means there is only   
   one trailing byte following.  So that means either 218 128 and 162 is   
   ignored.  A 24 bit character *must* be prefixed by at least 11100000 which is   
   dec 224 or E0.  For the utf8 euro character the prefix is;   
      
   dec 226 = bin 11100010   
                    ^   
   and as you can see the first zero yields three leading ones which is three   
   bytes or 24 bits.   
      
   For the record 218 128 is U+0680 which we already know to be a 16 bit Arabic   
   character.  Also for the record is that all trailing byte(s) must be in the   
   range of 80 - BF or dec 128 to dec 191 which both of your posted trailing   
   bytes are despite the leading byte could only use one.   
      
    HG> God natt min vän   
      
   Thank you.  Buenas noches mi amigo.  :-)   
      
   La vida es buena,
