Can you elaborate why UTF-8 makes things harder? Is it because 1-byte no longer means one character? So, something like calculating a string's length is also tricky. Is that it?
Also, where can I read about the general direction the string manipulation API is going to take?
- kibwen 13y agoThe bigger problem is that Unicode is immense and complex, and trying to implement the full specification is rather daunting. There's no real documents concerning the future of the string API, right now people are just implementing things as they need them.
