I can't answer the other questions but as far as this one is concerned, Latin-1 is not a subset of unicode. ASCII is. This is the reason why one byte encodings are not mutually compatible. The ASCII part is left as is but the 8th bit is used to define the other 128 codes, which differ according to the language they code. Jean-Christophe Helary
