We handle "plain" unicode fine during import (as well as using it internally). However, it looks like you can't get it to output 16-bit unicode. The relevant function appears to be configure_encoding() in the src/recpt/receptionist.cpp file - "utf-8" is handled specially while everything else needs a map file. A specially crafted .ump file might be able to trick greenstone into converting unicode into unicode (!!) but I'm not entirely sure on how that bit works. Hopefully someone else might be able to expand on what I've said. John McPherson
