The BCDIC Delta was normally a non-printing sign, that is the Delta sign was
used to represent an invisible, unprintable bit (or punch card hole)
combination.
See http://www.qsm.co.il/Hebrew/HebKey.htm - unfortunately it is in Hebrew. The
characters on the right in red are cannot be printed on th
Well... I think you're right. I knew that char and string units weren't
really the same thing. My concern was how to make it easy on developers to
use the Unicode API using their "native intelligence".
More thought makes me less certain of my approach. Specifically, as Mark
points out, looping st
Thanks Mark. I've looked extensively at the ICU code in doing much of the
design on this system. What my email didn't end up saying was, basically,
that the "char" functions end up decoding a scalar value internally in a
32-bit integer value.
The question, I guess, boils down to: put it in the in

Ooops!

What I actually wanted to write is:
wchar_t * _wcschr_32(const wchar_t * s, wint_t c);
wchar_t * _wcsrchr_32(const wchar_t * s, wint_t c);

I recently received my copy of Mackenzie's "Coded Character Sets" from
Amazon's out-of-print search team, and between that and the "UNIVAC
Memories" Web site at www.fourmilab.com, I have been pondering some of
the characters that appear in early character sets and how they would
map to Unicode.
