RE: proposed Eistring interface
From: Ben Wing [mailto:ben＠666.com]
NOTE: One possible default internal representation that was
compatible
with UTF16 but allowed all possible chars in UCS4 would be to take an
unused range of 2048 chars (not from the private area because
Microsoft
actually uses up most or all of it with EUDC chars).
Aren't the extra code points you want access to user defined characters
anyway?
I could try some prodding to see if the folks here at MS would be willing to
release the process they use to map DBCS EUDC into Unicode private area
space based on the codeset if you want.
