Re: plane business

There are 66 non-characters as of Unicode 3.1, there were 34 non-characters before. There are no "hidden" non-characters, but there were 'hidden' planes in Unicode 3.0 - hidden in the limited sense that they were defined as character and non-character locations, but no characters were assigned,

RE: surrogate at java's property file

But then, it's my day to be an idiot... Of course an int can store more than 16 bits. It's char that's defined at 0..65535 in Java. int's will work fine in the APIs. It's the chars that are a problem. Must be the heat. ;-) Addison Addison P. Phillips Globalization Architect / Manager, Globaliz

RE: surrogate at java's property file

Java doesn't define any characters beyond Unicode 2.1.8 at the moment. It's stuck in a time-warp. JDK 1.4 will update to Unicode 3.0... neither of these versions have defined characters in the supplemental planes. In Java, a java.lang.Character object is closely tied to the definition of an "int"

surrogate at java's property file

Any one know how does Java handle Surrogate pair property file ? Java's property file use the \u encoding for non ASCII characters, therefore U+00a5 is \u00A5. I wonder anyone know how does it handle Surrogate Pair? Does U+1 (0xd800 0xdc00) encoded as "\u1" or "\ud800\udc00" ? (I think i

Hi folks, I appreciate the answers to my 6 questions, some of which came directly from the authors. I think that’s neat. I’m afraid I have a little bit of a beef about the Unicode documentation here, forgive me if this has already been brought up. How come UAX #27 says that Unicode 3.0 had 34 no

extra end-of-line spaces in Blocks.txt

(I sent this already Saturday but that message seems to have disappeared, apologies if you are seeing this twice) It seems that there some extraneous end-of-line space characters in the Blocks.txt (UCD 3.1.1): $ cat -vet Blocks.txt|egrep ' \$$' 0700..074F; Syriac $ 1000..109F; Myanmar $ $ I w
