mmh, no. UCS-2 is different from utf-16 (which is escaped), but you cannot represent all utf characters (see the case of Vogon poetry). See: http://www.uazone.com/multiling/unicode/ucs2.html http://lists.samba.org/archive/jcifs/2002-July/000969.html > Even in utf-32 you've > to take care of surrogate pairs. In utf-32 yes, in UCS-4 no. Teorically we could have a UCS-8 in the future, but for the next hundred years this is not very likely. > > Using natively utf-8 I think is impossible, because the encoding. > > Why? Because every simple function on strings (like copy) should require to start reading the string from beginning Bye Uberto _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
