The rot13 algorithm is applied to the basic ASCII alphabet only. When rot-13 is used with, say, German text, the special umlauts remain the same. The letter "a with tilde" (ã) may be written as either U+00E3 U+0061 U+0303 When rot13 is applied to the first, nothing happens. However, when rot13 is applied to the second, the result is U+006E U+0303, "n with tilde" (ñ). So with respect to rot13, U+00E3 and U0061 U+0303 are not equivalent. Well, this is not a serious question or concern - just an observation. Any comments?
