Hi Chris,
wrapping arbitrary (= UTF8-encoded) strings into UTF8_string first is
the proper way to go. Consider the differences between:
*
**1. UCS_string yyy(UTF8_string(xxx)); // almost proper, but
ambiguous (most vexing parse error)**
**2. UCS_string yyy(xxx); // now privat
Thanks for the explanation--very much appreciated.
I more or less stumbled onto 1. and am using that in every relevant
circumstance, but I'll revise to 4. (I can't generally use 5. because
some of the strings use what I assume are non-ASCII characters like "←".)
Thanks again,
Chris
