2010-11-19I now think that this may not work out at all. It looks like if we want properMike Buland
Unicode handling we'll need to implement a series of codecs and converters as well as tables of codepages and lookups. It'll be interesting, I guess, but it makes me care a lot less about proper encoding. Anyway, UtfString uses shorts instead of chars, so it's a step in the right direction, but still not enough to be able to handle proper UTF-16 encoding, maybe UCS-2 encoding, but... ...that's lame. Bu::FBasicString has been generalized a bit with optimizations from libc for char based strings. It also, unfortunately, still uses char-only functions in several places, those all rely on char casting strings at the moment just to get the thing to compile. Basically, it's not a good UTF-16 solution yet, and it may never be and remain compatible with char based strings.
