Ah: "the tail-end of the dictionary entry in LC 8"
Well all that does is allow me the chance to get in a bi*chy comment
about the LC 8 dictionary
and 64 bit Linux.
There should be, at the very least a browser widget set to load the
Dictionary.

So, obviously, I will have to set a "bot" to trawl its way through my code
and replace every incidence of *numToChar* to *numToCodePoint*, and
replace the surrogate pairs in the upcoming *Grantha* interface
with "standard" Unicode addresses. The first of which should (?) be relatively
simple if the global search-N-replace behaves itself, the second will be a
bother, but nothing insurmountable.
Anyway; to cut a short story long, as is my wont: to *set the useUnicode to
true*:
what is unclear from the Livecode 7.x documentation is if this is now redundant
or not.
It’s no longer needed, as it only ever applied to how numToChar and charToNum
worked. Here’s a note from the tail-end of the dictionary entry in LC 8:
Deprecated:In LiveCode 7.0 the language was changed to handle unicode
transparently. This means that language functionality which previously aided
unicode text manipulation is no longer required. This property should not be
used in new code, as it only affects the behaviour of numToChar and charToNum,
which are themselves deprecated.
