As an example, there are two environment with a single string type: Qt and Java, and in both there's no issue of Unicode any more, AFAICT.
Har!
Java "unicode" is utf-16, I think. Unicode now has at least 32 bits per character, IIUC, so I don't think any simplistic interface choices can make a non-issue of Unicode.
Huh, the utf-16 is 16-bit *encoding* for 32-unicode, it's not 16-bit unicode. There are so called surrogate pairs which allows to represent 32-bit values.
Sure; by the same token we could also use utf-8 and encode your Unicode in narrow strings. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
