yes, it appears that we permanently lose information if encoded to the filesystems default encoding. If we encode a code point beyond 127 it looks like its byte representation becomes 63. From the value of 63, we get a fine decoding of unicode value 63. In other words, by coding to the platform specific value we go in a one way direction... :(. At least this is how it looks on my system.... leouser
