- Tichy 19y ago"I would simply have made the language's "character" data type 16 bits wide instead of 8, and provided four trivial library routines to convert such strings to and from UTF-8 and CP-1252 encodings for I/O purposes. That's about an hour's work, and all you need for really basic Unicode support; once you have that, you" If he can do all that in one hour, I am really impressed. It would take me more than one hour alone to research the utf-8 and CP-1252 encodings. Changing regular expressions libraries to work with 16 bit, as well as the index operations for strings might take some work, too. I suppose that guy could rewrite the whole Arc within a day...
