Uniencode fails on some chars

[Ron]

Thanks Kenji

You are right about these characters. I used the moji palette to get the
codes that I reported. I guess the problem I see is that uniencode just
stops at that point rather than skipping it and moving on. Maybe my hope
that it would at least ignore it and continue is unrealistic.

BTW did you ever get a response to the difference between SJIS utf-8, and
utf-16?

Thanks
Ron
