All the Microsoft TrueType fonts are Unicode, and the repertoires that each of them
cover are added to over time. (usually in small groups of characters in order to fully

ones work with multilingual data. Many of them, although they use
Unicode in their API, as they have to, do not work with more than the
Latin characters. I am being asked about grid controls, calendars,
schedulers, graphing, a

ICU defines UChar to be an unsigned 16-bit unit (an unsigned short, or uint16_t).
Strings are in UTF-16, not UTF-8.
When you know that you are dealing with Unicode code units and a conversion to
US-ASCII, then all you need to do is to truncate each of these 16-bit units to 8 bits
(to char). Th

But they are naturally handled as such, no? After all, they employ the
same Unicode codepoints but are displayed in a different font altogether.
