Hi,
TUTF8Char is declared as:
TUTF8Char = string[8];
Why not string[4]? Shouldn't all utf8 chars fit in 4 bytes?
Just curious, I saw this while implementing fpgui utf-8 char reception
system and thougth if I need this or not...
At the point it was not sure, if 4byte is really enough, because some
RFC talk about 6 bytes and some about combined chars.
IMO 4 bytes are enough and for combined chars we should define a
another type (string).
But is is still a char in the end ?
IIRC, you cannot tell in advance that one char in UTF8 is a composite
char. It will fit in 8 bytes.
