Re: EuGTK and UTF-8

EuGTK will work, but only by using the one byte font.
AS IT STANDS WITH EUPHORIA, EUGTK WILL NOT WORK USING THE FULL TWO BYTE STORAGE.
This is flat out wrong. I tested EuGTK demos test7.ex (single line text entry) and test48.ex (a simple text editor) with Hangul syllablic block characters and with Hanzi (both of which require a minimum of at least two bytes per character in any character set), and it worked fine. Of course, I used UTF-8 (which is backwards compatible with ASCII at the binary level, unlike UTF-16).
1. Kindly look at and provide the Peeks of one of these strings.
2. Try extracting the third and 4th syllable of a string, like extracting "mc" from "jimbrown" in your EuGTK created Chinese text, using Euphoria and then extracting 6th and 7th similar to extracting "ro" from "jimbrown".
There are other aspects of your posts reminiscent of the year 200o-2003, and I will address them later as I get time.
Whenever i come accross Unicode and utf-8, theorizing seems to be the order of day. Outside of simple nice text under utw-8 in the net like this:
"जैसा ये लिखा है",
a major part of it is vapourware.
