Thanks -- but that's really Tcl's fault, since the only way to get character data *into* Tcl (or out of it) is through the UTF-8 encoding.

from http://dev.scriptics.com/man/tcl8.3/TclLib/StringObj.htm Tcl_NewUnicodeObj(Tcl_UniChar* unicode, int numChars) Tcl_NewUnicodeObj and Tcl_SetUnicodeObj create a new object or modify an existing object to hold a copy of the Unicode string given by unicode and numChars. (Tcl_UniChar* is currently the same thing as Py_UNICODE*) </F>
