It is also the case of the Latin transcription of Tibetan proper names,
because people use the upper case for the first letter of the main syllable,
but not for the prefix (if any), as for the names of the provinces of gTsang

list of pairs down to the bare minimum. There seem to be many

Plenty. Italian word arrivederLa, for example.

Asmus has good points about the restartability, both that it gives the API
user the maximal flexibility, and that many times the users don't want to
futz with such options, and just want the text converted.
To provide maximal flexibility, an API will give the choice for illegal
squences of (1)
But, formally speaking, is it conformant for an API to not stop, and merely
raise an error flag (that the caller may or may not look at)?
I argue that it is.

It's a subtle point, but can be put into your formulation:

If your converter purports to produce any one of the Unicode encoding forms,
then it cannot conformantly produce malformed Unicode as a result.

Hi,
I read with interest about the japhalaa debate in Bangla and I have joined you
to answer this question
I understand that unicode is supposed to represent the language, not the way it
is written.
This is how bengali is currently described in unicode, and obviously it seems

Hello!
Sorry to make this a mass spam, but I need a program to convert UTF-8 to
hex sequences. This is useful for embedding text in non-UTF web pages,
but also for creating a Yudit keymap file, which I'm doing at the moment.
For example, a file with the content would yield the output 0x00E6

Hi,
What is the basic difference between ISO 8859_2 and Windows 1250?
Also what is the basic difference between Cp1250 and Cp1252.
