I don't know who told you that ð was an Icelandic d.
The ð is called the "eth", and was used in Anglo-Saxon interchangeably with the thorn to represent the 2 sounds that are now represented in English by the digraph
th. As such Icelandic has retained the eth sign. In Icelandic the /d/ sound is represented by the letter d. Richmond. On 10.11.18 г. 21:30 ч., Geoff Canyon via use-livecode wrote:
This is faster -- under some circumstances, much faster! Any idea why textEncoding suddenly fixes everything?

Geoff Canyon and Brian Milby found a faster solution by setting the itemDelimiter to the search string. They even provided a way to find the position of substrings in the search string which the offset() command does by design. Here I propose a variant of the offset() form that uses UTF16 to search, easily adaptable to UTF32 if necessary. To test (as in Brian's testStack) add a unicode character to the text to be searched e.g. at the end. Just any non-ASCII character to see the speed penalty of simple offset(). I used ð (Icelandic d) or use any chinese character.
