It appears that the consensus on this list is that UTF-8 is indeed "the right way" to do Unicode in C on Linux. I'm happy with this consensus, but I just can't help but wonder why I can hardly find evidence for this supposed preference anywhere :( E.g., in Glib's <gunicode.h> I find UTF-32 characters called "gunichar". Fribidi also appears to take (e.g., see fribidi_log2vis(3)) UTF-32 strings. Qt appears to use internally UTF-16. What major free software C library actually prefer UTF-8? -- Nadav Har'El | Tuesday, Mar 13 2012, n...@math.technion.ac.il |----------------------------------------- Phone +972-523-790466, ICQ 13349191 |Does replacing myself with a shell-script http://nadav.harel.org.il |make me impressive or insignificant? _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
