Only if used as a seperation mark, not as an umlaut.HTHEugenehttp://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.fwp/2008/01/msg4080.html Re: regex of the month (decade) by Aristotle Pagaltzis- January 12, 2008 Chris Dolan <chrischrisdolan.net> 2008-01-12 23:55:> I figured that anyone who lives in a country whose dominant> language was not fully expressible in ASCII would love Unicode.For bonus points, try writing, say, German (fully expressiblewith an ISO-8859 charset) and Greek (fully expressible1 withan ISO-8859 charset) in the same document.1: Well, Modern Greek anyway.Regards,-- Aristotle Pagaltzis <http:plasmasturm.org>http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.fwp/2008/01/msg4079.html Re: regex of the month (decade) by Keith Ivey- January 12, 2008 Chris Dolan wrote:> Haven&39;t I read that you live in Paris I figured that anyone who lives > in a country whose dominant language was not fully expressible in ASCII > would love Unicode."Not fully expressible" seems mild to apply to writing French in ASCII (which after all has no diacritics). The phrase seems more appropriate for writing French in ISO-8859-1 (because of the lack of "oe" ligature).-- Keith C.
