Hi!
UTF is a mess, unfortunately. It's the key example I use when I
want to demonstrate that it's useless to create over-complex
standards, because no-one will implement them fully or correctly (try
to put UTF-16 docs in a SVN repository, for example) and the result is
almost worse than having no standard at all.
Indeed, I keep TextWrangler around for that kind of stuff, it
handles all the encodings very well, and has that great command that
causes an immediate gremlin carnage! :)
Yours
Miguel Arroz
