Hi Todd,

yes you can convert the vowels to single charcters, that's the proper way to
write them in Italian. The two bytes form is the form we used when ASCII set
didn't allow single accented characters. There are six accented vowels in
Italian: à, ò, ì, ù, è, é. As you see the "e" has two possible accents, but
you may use always the "è" form like most of the Italians do. The difference
is not as relevant as in French, won't affect the meaning in any way and
will probably disappear very soon.

Ciao
Mario
