And I thank you again for it. :) > delphi.non-technical is yellow press made by users for users. What better place to find out what users think of a product. After all, they are the people using it. I don't want to hear from the Borland/CodeGear/Embarcadero sales and marketing team, I want to hear from the actual people using the product! That newsgroup does just that. > > FPC has unicode support for years. Remember what a widestring is? So I'm just imagining the locale issue with U+00A0 character? Plus the knock-on affect to FormatFloat, FormatDateTime etc.. Does FPC have any any functions that work correctly with surrogate pair used by UTF-16? If so, it would same me a lot of time implementing them myself. What would Pos, Length, Copy etc return? BTW: If it comes down to it that I have implement UTF-16 string functions myself, you are more that welcome to use the code in FPC. :) >> long ago like it could have, it might just have boosted FPC usage, > > Unlikely.

Without > Martin, MSE would be dead. Nope, MSE only supports UCS2, not full UTF-16. And off the top of my head I know of myself, Felipe and Michael van C. that had a look at MSE. It's just to hard to read Martin's code and be able to contribute. He has a very different coding style. It works for him, but unfortunately not for others.
