   Sadly, the "Yes" in Latvian doesn't look right if you are using the oxp     
   editor, especially in Windows.   
      
   It arrived with the correct UTF-8 kludge from TB, and is retained in OXP     
   here, but the limitation seems to be the Windows console font support.   
      
      
   Above, I see a J + a dash + u with two dots above it.   
      
   It should be: J + a with macron, or a bar above it.   
      
   a with macron = alt 0257, but that doesn't render in the Windows console     
   for oxp.   Apparently Lucida or Consolas monospaced ttf for the console     
   are not good enough to support baltic chars.
