I would suggest changing the terminology here. A "string" is quite
simply an array of bytes, with no intrinsic meaning or encoding. This
"UString" is something quite different, and giving it a similar name
might cause confusion. I'd suggest calling it a "text" type.

Hi,
I think that there aren't that many people subscribed to this list, so I'm
ccing the internals list, as your suggestion is to implement/bundle this to
the core.

Although I never contributed to the code of the PHP project, I hope the ideas
that follow may provide some suggestion for the future developments of the PHP

interested may stop there :-)

I have been told that PHP6 has implemented transliteration in some form,
but no specifics were given.

Hi all, I have a question regarding unicode character escape sequences:
I need to match char 0x2022 (bullet).
PHP's \x does not support multibyte chars.
PCRE (e.g. preg_match) supports \u2022, but only on platforms where the
PCRE lib has been compiled with a certain flag.
Is there an escape s
You probably saw that I have committed initial implementation of
TextIterator. The impetus for this is that direct indexing of Unicode
strings via [] operator is slow, very slow, at least currently. The
reason is that [] cannot simply perform random-offset indexing into
UCHar* strings. It needs

Rui,
I found problems with ISO-2022 when implementing the C library string
functions. Many of these functions return pointers into the string but
without preceding escape characters, you have no idea how to interpret the
characters. Functions like strto

No one seems to be working seriously on full Unicode support except for the
mainly Japanese work Rui has done. I thought that the Email from Carl Brown
was quite promising but adding good i18n support to PHP will require much
more interest and volunteers. It seemed that not many people were ver

Hi,
I would be most interested in knowing the current status of multi-byte
character handling in PHP, and also some kind of forecast of when it is
expected to work in a stable manner. Currently, there is an experimental
module for this at http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.mbstring.php. How stable
