Fair enough. Another good property that your "UTF-4" scheme has is that
8-bit search will work correctly, which is true of UTF-8 as well but not
of UTF-16.
-- John Cowan jcowan@reutershealth.com www.ccil.org/~cowan www.reutershealth.com I must confess that I have very little notion of what [s. 4 of the British Trade Marks Act, 1938] is intended to convey, and particularly the sentence of 253 words, as I make them, which constitutes sub-section 1. I doubt if the entire statute book could be successfully searched for a sentence of equal length which is of more fuliginous obscurity. --MacKinnon LJ, 1940
