Does anyone have any experience that the Euphoria system will process and maintain Unicode without error? I will need to preserve Latin diacriticals on English cpu's.
Define "process".
Define "maintain".
And by "Unicode" do you mean the UTF encoding (eg. UTF-8, UTF-16, UTF-32)?
Euphoria does no interpretation of the data in sequences. That means when doing comparisions it strictly uses the numeric value of the sequence items. Which in turns means that, in the main, text is treated as ASCII encoding. Case conversion is based only on ASCII encoding.
Version 4 supports code-pages but not Unicode yet.
So if your application stores unicode codepoints in a sequence, you are responsible for text comparisions, case conversions, and output rendering.
