It is not useful to have functions for both encodings, because these encodings are interconvertable and it is more effective to use UTF-16 for data processing
I disagree. The conversion impacts performance heavely. It will also require memory to store the converted string, and after you perform a operation you need to convert back. Further, UTF-16 contains both 2-byte characters and 4-byte characters, so I don't see how it would be any faster to process it in comparison to process a utf-8 string. About being easier to implement, that's irrelevant, because the functions are already done. -- Felipe Monteiro de Carvalho _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
