utf-8 sounds good fwiw.  for swig, you can define your own
functions quite eqsily to handle how conversions take place, so you can
probably just define your own conversion function for strings? You only
have to write the conversion function once, and they're generally quite
short.

On the other hand if sometimes strings are utf-8 and sometimes they're
not, it could get trickier... on the other hand since pure ascii maps
exactle to utf-8 thats probably not an issue?

Easy to say if it's not me writing the wrappers :-)

btw, i broke my wrist rollerblading and i'm typing wiyh one hand which
is why there are som any typos... the moral is: don't trust cheap
chinese wrist-guards :-/

I'd say that we just use only utf-8, basically, and have conversions
from whatever wchar_t*/wstring are (are they 16 bit or 32 bit
characters? depends on the platform?) built into the property and
talkative apis (the conversion functions would be in vutil of course).

The issue is if an application is expecting just ascii from, say,
property data and gets some utf8 high characters, they are discarded or
displayed as ascii "garbarge" characters.

Getting "ascii" when you are expecting utf-8 is of course no problem,
you will get valid utf-8 :)

Sounds bad! Good luck to heal quickly!
