What you want is lua-iconv: http://luaforge.net/projects/lua-iconv/ It'll convert from any Unicode encoding to any other Unicode encoding. In your case, tell it to convert to UCS-32 and then you can read each Unicode code point as a number type. (Beware that a single glyph is not necessarily represented by a single code point, though --- it's still not valid to stick your UCS-32 string into an array of ints and expect string slicing to just work. Here Be Dragons.) -- ┌─── ｄｇ＠ｃｏｗｌａｒｋ．ｃｏｍ ───── http://www.cowlark.com ───── │ "I have always wished for my computer to be as easy to use as my │ telephone; my wish has come true because I can no longer figure out │ how to use my telephone." --- Bjarne Stroustrup
