No, it's just more smalltalk coding, the utf8-plain-text bytes need to be translated into bytes according to
"Normalizes the string into the specified form as described in Unicode Technical Report #15." and ensure we return the bytes as UTF8. The FFI calls let the macintosh operating system deal with the messy details. http://unicode.org/unicode/standard/reports/tr15/tr15-18.html also see http://developer.apple.com/qa/qa2001/qa1235.html Say is that a precomposed and decomposed Unicode you have there, really what does squeak want? want does the operating system want. Choices choices. PS beware the utf8 to macroman or macroman to utf8 text converts in squeak, I don't think the one that came from etoys does the right thing can't remember, it's named wrong, does utf8 to ascii or something...
