Re: [idn] What's wrong with skwan-utf8?



Yes. Windows 2000 Professional -  Multililanguage version.

See: 
http://www.microsoft.com/WINDOWS2000/guide/professional/solutions/multilingu
al.asp

"Unicode Support:
Windows 2000 Professional uses Unicode® version 2.1 as its base character
encoding. Unicode is an international standard representing the characters
in common use in the world’s major languages. Unicode allows unambiguous,
plain-text representation of data, which simplifies data sharing in a
mixed-platform environment."

Using UTF-8. Even its text editor (Notepad) is UTF-8 capable.

You asked <smile>.
