All software I write professional have to support 40 languages (including CJK ones) so I would prefer UTF-16 in case I could use Haskell at work some day in the future. I dunno that who uses what encoding the most is good grounds to pick encoding though. Ease of implementation and speed on some representative sample set of text may be. -- Johan _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
