?I read in one of the references that UTF-32 was a more common standard on Unix systems - which means I guess they have chosen the simplest format at the trade off of using more space?
I think linux/Windows/MacOS use UTF-16 more commonly... Anyway for the time being, as long as the data in strings is unicode, but is still Latin 8859 (ie ASCII characters) I can without worrying too much iterate over a string one character at a time...using length. That was the main thing I wanted to know....
