Thanks Mesar,
So in my example of the trademark symbol, which shows up as a^ in UTF-8, how
would you correctly write this using the \xhhhh format? If you were writing
the table and wanted to define this symbol using UTF-8, how would you find
out what it was.
Thank you so much for your willingness to answer questions. I am still
trying to learn all this. Have a great day!
Best regards from Ohio, U.S.A.,
Vic

Yes, from latin1, to their equivilent utf8 representation.
What we are asking John to do is to allow compileTable.c to accept utf8
(which may be several bytes long for each character), rather than
having to write the unicode codepoint as \xhhhh
As you found out in your other email these are currently broken, as i
pointed out when i committed, they need either to be rewritten as \xhhhh
or the opcodes need to accept utf8 operands.
You will not get valid output from these opcodes until they are fixed, by
one of the above solutions.

No, you are quite right, it also helps me to check my understanding when I
have to explain :)
Thanks,
