Hallo Holger!

 HG> That character pair I see as C3B7.

As it should be in a non-utf8 enviroment.  Also in most European languages, the 
first byte of the pair will be C3.  If you see the first byte being CE then 
you're likely dealing with Greek.  With Russian and other Cyrillic based 
languages, D0 and/or D1 will be the first byte depending on the character.  It 
is a handy way to narrow down the language you're dealing with.

 HG> Thanks for that URL.

It is the best site I have found for all things utf8.  If you require graphical 
output then http://www.unicode.org/charts/ provides pdf's of all fonts that 
matter and then some.

Het leven is goed,
Maurice
