Hi! For those of you who _are_ programmers (or at least know a little C), there is a somewhat easier formaula to convert between utf16 and utf32 for plane1 and above (the offset 0x10000 in the high surraogate can be fix shifted and included in the constant term):
utf16high = 0xD7C0 + (utf32 >> 10); utf16low = 0xDC00 + (utf32 & 1023); this is very easy to invert: utf32 = ((utf16high - 0xD7C0) <<10) + (utf16low & 1023); Here utf16high and utf16low are 16bit-surrogates, and utf32 is of course a 32bit-value. The bitshift operators >> and << can be replaced by ordinary division or multiplication by twopowers and the bitwise-and & is equivalent to a modulo-operation. But that is slower (relevant only for realy high-speed converters ;-). Best regards. -- Dominikus Scherkl [EMAIL PROTECTED]
