Hi, As best I can tell from C# docs a string is a sequence of char, and a char is a 16-bit Unicode character. So strings are in UCS-2 encoding. Trying to figure out then how to marshal/unmarshal UTF-8 via PInvoke.
I looked at GTK# for an example. However, GTK# seems to use "string" for the type to pass in and out of GTK, and GTK is wanting UTF-8, not UCS-2. DllImport has this CharSet parameter that's used to convert native strings to UCS-2, but it doesn't have UTF-8 as a possible value, and anyway GTK# doesn't specify CharSet. So is GTK# broken, if not why not, if yes how do I do it properly? Basically, how is string encoding handled? The clean solution to me seems to be that CharSet would contain UTF-8 as a value and CharSet=Auto would imply UTF-8 on UNIX, but I imagine this would be an unacceptable extension of standard APIs.
