Re: Regarding check-in of unicode characters.
Hi Maninder - You can use UTF-8 encoded files. UTF-8 is a method of representing Unicode text with a stream of 8-bit bytes. The resulting stream is both ASCII-compatible and reverse-ASCII-compatible. A single character can occupy from 1 to 4 bytes. Most IDE and editors like emacs these days, will let you switch the default charset encoding from ASCII to UTF-8. More information on Unicode and UTF-8 is here - http://www.unicode.org/faq/utf_bom.html#14 A UTF-8 encoded source file with text in UTF-8 can be handled by CVS (on Linux etc) without any problems. Most IDEs and Editors supporting CVS can be configured for UTF-8 encoding by default to get Unicode support in CVS to work seamlessly. With regards to CVSNT, the big difference is CVSNT supports a -ku keyword flag to let you have the file in UTF-16 be automatically be converted to UTF-8. Internally CVSNT also stores the files in UTF-8. Since most IDE, editors and tools will do UTF-8 encoding, this may be good enough. For command-line cvs usage, tools like iconv (on UNIX, Cygwin) can be used to go from any format to any other. So just use UTF-8 and you should be home. You could have a script do iconv before and after any ci/co to make it seamless.
