- ars 15y agoExactly. One UTF-32 character (code-point) is not one displayed character (glyph), and one UTF-32 character is not one character to search. So basically it's not fixed width in any meaningful way.
- adobriyan 15y agoI largely share sqrt17's grief. There is no such thing as "UTF-32 character". Abstract character is not code point. UTF-32 _is_ fixed width because it's defined on code points, not glyphs, not characters.
- ars 15y agoFixed width in what way? It's not fixed width for display or search, so what's fixed about it?
