I have written a password generating program but it only uses the English alphabet which may not be of much use to folks who use an alphabet different to the English one ie. e's with accents, u's with accents,...

Anybody know where I can find the complete alphabet of different countries - I want my password generator to be able to generate passwords using the letters used in different countries.

I was thinking of including the alphabet of the different countries into the VDS code like this

Note that this may not be needed becuase some servers or programs only allow alpha-numeric characters. For example, if the letter was an "" might not be able to use it.

However, a search on Google.com took me to this first result:
http://www.ask-group.com/publish/alphabet.htm

There were many more results too, so it might be easy to find what you are looking for... Smile

Many thanks FreezingFire for your link - that is exactly what i was after.

I too did a Google search but did not find anything worthwhile - may be i used the wrong word for the search Confused

I take your point about the servers and the programs - i can always offer it as an option and they can decide whether they want to use that feature or not.

Thanks again Very Happy

PS I noticed that the listing is actually a gif image - not sure how to replicate the list as i can't do a copy and paste. I'll have a look to see if i can use the old dos ALT 125 thingy to replicate the lists.

Using the character map of Windows can help... Smile

I searched google.com with "alphabets+languages".

Thanks for that. I tried "international alphabet", "alphabet", "french alphabet" but obviously did not use the correct choice of words.

Thanks again,

Serge
