| Writing special characters | Date: 2008/02/25 14:20:18 Revision: 1.9 | 
In order not to corrupt DEXlib, only characters from the ISO-xxxx character set is allowed. Always remember to load the edited file in your browser (e.g. Internet Explorer) to see if there are any errors, before you do a CVS update.
This table shows how special characters, not included in ISO-xxxx, can be written without causing errors in DEXlib.
