Not unless I use Save as... (and I'm not).

I know. I sure wish unicode was supported---it would really simplify my life.

Well, I discovered that the cut and paste process changes the foreign language characters, as follows (compare to the attached file): make object! [ turk-num: "15898" freq-num: "251" strong-num: "5023" kata-yunani: to-binary { § } transliteration: "tauta" akar: "" conjugation: make object! [voice: "active" mood: "" tense: "" number: person: ""] declension: make object! [case: "" gender: "" number: ""] kata-indonesia: "" arti: "" english-word: "" defination: "" ] It is the kata-yunani field that I am having trouble with. If I produce object database data using my multi-lingual word processor, and use to-binary as in the above example, will that field be read into rebol unchanged?
