Old UTF16 patch

[Elena Zannoni]

Hi,
does anybody know if this patch ever got merged into GCC, or if UTF-16 
is currently supported?

Tom, I saw you replied to this thread, so maybe you know about this:
http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/2001-07/msg00064.html

I believe the patch was originally from Suse, if it hasn't been merged 
I'll do some more digging, and see if
somebody from Oracle can integrate this.  My understanding is that it 
hasn't been integrated yet.

thanks
elena
