Hi UniCode list, I am dealing with unicode for XML. I'm sorry if this bothers a few people, but reading the technical information is not very easy. The crossings out and underlinings don't help, the information seems a bit scattered, and the usually interesting information is not linked to in easy to find places.
I think I have finally found what I wanted, the table: "Table 3.1. UTF-8 Bit Distribution" on <http://www.unicode.org/unicode/reports/tr27/> Basically, I want to write some code that can convert UTF8, UTF16, and UTF32 to any of the other two formats. I suppose I could use UTF32 as a go-between to reduce the conversion possibilities. Anyhow, does anyone know of any existing source code that does this transformation? I don't feel like using Apple's UniCode converter because it seems so complex it will probably take MORE work for me to access it, than just write the conversion code myself. And even then I hear it doesn't do UTF32, so there is no use. And even then I have to compile my code for Win32 also, so its even more no use. If anyone knows of some existing code that does the transformation, that would help. I might end up re-writing it myself and just use the code as a working example. All that bitshifting and bitmasking such should slow down my UTF8/UTF16 processing, is there any accepted good way to speed this up? Some form of table perhaps? -- This email was probably cleaned with Email Cleaner, by: Theodore H. Smith - Macintosh Consultant / Contractor. My website: <www.elfdata.com/>
