The encoding of the source file is irrelevant.
do you mean I can do:
string field = "ウェブサイト";
?
Geez, just tested it, it works. even writeln(field) correctly output
the japanese chars and dmd doesn't choke on it.
Bang, back to state 0: I don't get how D strings work.
Unicode supports three encodings: UTF-8, UTF-16 and UTF-32. All these
encodings can store every character in the Unicode standard. What's
different is how the characters are stored and how many bytes a single
character takes to store in the string. For example:
string str = "ö";
The above character will take up two bytes in the string. On the other
hand, this won't work:
char c = 'ö';
The reason for that is the the above character needs two bytes to be
stored but "char" can only store one byte. Therefore you need to store
the character in a type where it fits, i.e. "wchar" or "dchar". Or you
can use a string where you can store how many bytes you want.
Don't know if that makes it clearer.
