Hi, Morten W. Petersen : > need to hack a bit on terminal code
This is not only about terminals but also about any other program or module which shall process your UTF-32 text. You would have to set up a complete UTF-32 capable system while everything around it expects UTF-8. For example, in C language the byte value 0 indicates the end of a string. UTF-32 characters out of the ASCII range contain 75 percent of 0-bytes. If your terminal's code is in C or uses C oriented libraries for processing text, then you have to check and modify all this stuff. Compare this with the effort needed to create an interface to the UTF-8 world by which your UTF-32 programs can communicate with normal programs. Have a nice day :) Thomas
