Honest question: but isn't that just a broken implementation (and a very obvious brokenness at that)? It seems to me there's a big difference between someone not coding to the standard, and the standard making your taks impossible.
- dsl 14y agoIf most implementations are broken, it becomes the standard.
- codeka 14y agoThe same could be said of UTF-16 implementations that don't support surrogate pairs.
- tlrobinson 14y agoBut that's not true for UCS-2, which can't represent certain code points. On the other hand, UTF-8 is ASCII compatible and more efficient for text that's primarily ASCII.
