7-bit (not 8-bit) ASCII is a subset of most multibyte character sets, including both "Shift-JIS" and "UJIS(EUC)" in Japan. ASCII and two or three-byte (JIS0212) characters can be mixed in Japan. In general, however, you cannot mix ASCII with widecharacter (as opposed to multibyte) data because the underlying data types are (probably) different. --arne
