    Is there any way of viewing characters from different character sets in one document, be it via Ms Word or any other document viewer.

    yep, word will do it as well as internet explorer, firefox etc
    the program just has to know what the char set is, and where the boundaries are.
    Assuming you have the required char sets/fonts installed on your computer, open up a word doc, then go on the net to say a spanish page, copy and paste some text, then go to a russian/asian page, and copy and paste some text into the same doc.

    *Most* languages however *can*/should be able to be encoded with unicode, rather than needing many different char sets....

    what are you trying to do?

    I've got a file on my pc with many characters on it. I might be wrong but I believe this character gets displayed when it's unable to display the correct character. The problem is I don't actually know which character set is being used in the file :confused: and I'd like to know what the actual characters are in the file.
