Tex doesn't support unicode.
Inputenc supports UTF-8 for quite a while now.
It only supports a subset of UTF-8,
UTF-8 is an encoding of a character-set, not a character-set. And LaTeX supports a huge part of unicode. The bigger problem is finding fonts which contain the glyphs.
as Tex wasn't designed to support 16 bit fonts. It's a design limitation.
TeX uses many different fonts anyway, most traditional fonts are only 7-bit. This has no influence whatsoever on what glyphs LaTeX supports. E.g. traditional TeX uses 7-bit encodings and 7-bit fonts and supports many more glyphs (more than latin1 + at least 256 math signs).
This does work. Probably even spanish accents work, so this may help Carlos. However, this doesn't mean that unicode is supported, which can be verified easily by typing the €= (euro character) or characters of most other scripts in the world.
You need to use packages to support the characters. E.g: ==== \documentclass{scrartcl} \usepackage{lmodern} \usepackage{textcomp} \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \listfiles \begin{document} äöü߀óéñõ\end{document} ==== You need textcomp for \texteuro. You'll need CJK or something for asian characters, etc. If it doesn't work for you, you're missing something (in the log or a package or ...). BTW: I use a quite old TeX (teTeX 2.0.9 IIRC), with some updated packages. And the above works for me. -dnh -- There are two major products that come out of Berkeley: LSD and UNIX.
