good job.
For instance, the Danish ae (U+00E6) is not designated a ligature, but the
Dutch ij (U+0133) is, even though the a and e are clearly fused
together, while the i and j aren't.

Somebody actually made a SEPARATE entry for ij?
Yes, just as there are separate entries for the Latin E, the Greek E, the
Cyrillic E, etc. Even though those look exactly alike!

the font's ligature tables are OK, it's
just as legal to have an fj at, say, U+E70B, as it is to have an fi
at U+FB01.
As long as you don't actually put a 0xE70B character in your text.

list, of course.

I once wrote a conversion routine, under Windows, that can convert
from UCS-2 to any codepage Windows supports and back, by using the
info in the appropriate *.nls files.
If this is what you want, and you can't find it elsewhere, I can
upload those routines somewhere if you like.

Canonical decomposing? Fallback character substitutions? BOM

to this character and your output buffer, and
you end up with the bytes 0xE4, 0x8C, 0xA1 in your output buffer.
You can then dump this buffer to the file you mentioned.
However, you have said this is not what you want!
So what is it that you do want?
Pim Blokland
codepoints are not fixed, how do you display this
character? I.E. if a certain character is not fixed at U+EF00, you
cannot simply have a text file with the value 0xEF00 in it and
expect it to print.

guidelines for the situation where two files are joined, and the
second one has a BOM, but the first one hasn't. Should the resulting
file have a BOM? I.E. should a BOM be added to what was the contents
of the first file?
Pim Blokland
Note on the COPY command: it seems some versions of Windows seem to
be BOM-aware; at least Windows2000, when concatenating two text
files, does remove the second's BOM.
Pim Blokland
.
- If one of the files has a BOM, assume all files have the same byte
order as that one.
- Or indeed, check out the contents.
Pim Blokland
, removing the BOM that would end up somewhere in the
middle is the natural thing to do, just as removing the EOF marker
at the end of the first file is.
I'm not going into the implementation part; just pointing out that
this issue is not something an operating system can ignore.

would be easy; there would be only two variants,
UTF-24LE and UTF-24BE, and that's it. No juggling with bits like in
UTF-8 and UTF-16 or anything complicated like that. Just the plain
character values, just like in UTF-32, only with 75% of the storage
needed.
Comments anyone?
