: OK, did that, but the supplied function is basically just
: a conversion function that needs to be integrated. No
: clean patch - sorry - time didn't allow that.
Great! thanks so much, looks like we now have utf8
encoding for Microwindows. I'll add it shortly.
A couple quick questions: is utf16 the same as unicode-16?
Can you write a quick and dirty utf8-to-ascii converter?
(As you can tell, I've never read the utf8 spec, or I'd do
this myself. I just don't want to goof it up.)
We need the ability to render to ascii in certain cases. if
the utf8 stream specifies an unmapped ascii character, it
should spit out '?'.
:
: You are right, with the ugly Surrogate hack in UTF-16, up to
: 0x10FFFF characters can be supported, which should keep the
: ISO and ANSI guys busy for a while....
I'm not aware of the this. Would you explain a bit?
:
: For Unicode-32, I was thinking the scalar function could come in
: handy, but now I'm not even sure there is such a thing as
: Unicode-32; although I would not be surprised if it contained
: the scalar values, or code-points or whatever they are called.
So: do we care about unicode 32 conversion, or not?
Regards,
Greg
