   God morgon Maurice   
      
   MK> How about something like this instead;   
      
   MK> hex  dec   UTF8    hex      dec   
   86 | 134 = 00E5 | C3 A5 | 195 165   
      
   MK> The above matches the small angstrom.   
      
   The small angstrom is presented as dec 195 165 on the screen.   
   That's why I think those two character converted to PC8 fills the need.   
      
   MK> Also I am using IBM437 for PC-8 and near as I can tell they match   
   MK> perfectly but I'll let you be the judge.   
      
   Yes they do.   
      
   MK> As far as 24 bit characters those are mostly symbols and line drawing   
   MK> characters from what I see, and it looks like all the text characters   
   MK> are 16 bit and the leading byte is C3 (195).   
      
   Yes, 195 is but 165 is the spanish N with a wave on top for example.   
   The same goes for some other characters but as you say, 195 prefixes   
   most of normal characters while 218 and 226 prefix other symbols.   
      
   MK> For the degree symbol found at the end of temperatures I get a 16 bit   
   MK> character except with a C2 (194) as the leading byte;   
      
   F8 | 248 = 00B0 | C2 B0 | 194 176   
      
   I'll have still to check that but thanks for the tip. We don't have that   
   symbol on the keyboards but in Windows   
   I hold the Alt while pressing 0176 on the numerical pad.   
      
    HG> I don't need more than 16-bit characters for that editor.   
      
   MK> Other than the occasional Euro sign I suspect so.   
      
   On this machine I have an IBM Warp4 that doesn't support the euro sign   
   but the other machine with OS/2 FP15 does.   
      
      
   Have a nice day,
