- sambeau 15y agoI'm guilty of using UTF16 when I really mean 16 bit unicode arrays. I see that now. But it does beg the question why would you use UTF-16? Yes if you have more than 512 characters in your common script then OK I can see it might make sense, but not much. UTF-8 will still average out in a reasonable way.
