Carl, Re: How does a computer handle the Chinese language (or Japanese for that matter) Instead of the 255 ASCII characters (enough for most Western language), each 'character' is expressed in 2 bytes instead of 1 which gives 60000+ 'character' or words. The OS has the ability to identify if a byte is the lead of Chinese and interpret that accordingly. English alphabets is still single byte. For input, there is a 'filter' where the keystrokes entered would be translated into the above mentioned 2 byte characters. NT support UNICODE system which used 2 byte for every character (ASCII included) but has never been successful. Gary
