So then, what is the standard? Being not familiar with this area, I googled a bit, and I don't see a consensus. But I also noticeably don't see UTF-16. So, if this is the case, then a similar question still arises for CJK text: What format/library to use for it (assuming one doesn't want a performance penalty for translating between Data.Text's internal format and the target format)? It appears that there are no ideal answers to such questions. Regards, Sean
