Especially if they keep telling each other the wrong thing, and then rely on folklore about the standard as their source of information. The ultimate source of information about a standard is the standard itself. If language in the standard is unclear and is leading people to misinterpretations, then the UTC and the editors want to know about that. But I believe that in this particular instance, the text of Unicode 4.0 (forthcoming) will be quite clear and unambiguous. --Ken > > Doug Ewell wrote: > > >Thanks to all who pointed out that noncharacters, unlike surrogate code > >points, are NOT illegal or invalid in UTF-8 or any other CES.
