Ok, I will let you know if I get some more insights related to these
character encoding issues.

BTW, during our discussion I remembered that I once had build a little
character map helper OT. So I searched through my backup archives and found
it amoung my older personal created OTs. This character map OT can be used
as a little helper  for such character related things from inside JB. - I've
updated it yesterday slightly for JB4 and placed it now also onto
CodeCentral, just in case others also have a need for such an OT.


Greetings Valentino
