"Or did I misundertand you here completely?"

Yes. I will get that from the page listed. I need the ASCII representation to do so though, and that's what I'm after. >>graff
That seems to be on the right track. Never knew what ord() did. However, as before, I'm using utf8 or euc encoded strings, so ord returns the numeric representation of each byte, not each character. The above gives 6 distinct codes, not 3. My assumption is if I passed it iso-8859-1 encoded strings it might work, but my text editor (Kate on Linux) says they're not valid for that encoding, and chokes.

Wait, the values are actually just HTML representation (like © is the copyright sign). I guess I should just either plug my values into a calculator like below, or search for the table somwhere.

Sorry my confusion led to such a lengthy discussion. :?
