Is there any good reason why implementors would not support the full range of Unicode -- i.e., UTF-8 up to six serialized bytes? I personally think it would be a mistake if only the BMP gets supported, in light of the fact that a number of plane 1 scripts have already been defined in Unicode, including more CJK, musical notes, etc. > > If you think something (from the items listed above) would > be excluded, please say "UTF-8 excluding foo and bar". > > --- > Tomohiro KUBOTA <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > http://www.debian.or.jp/~kubota/ > > -- > Linux-UTF8: i18n of Linux on all levels > Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/ > -- Linux-UTF8: i18n of Linux on all levels Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/
