Hello,
If I'm going to start using Glib's Unicode functions, I could
really use something like this:
enum {
G_UTF8,
G_UTF16BE,
G_UTF16LE,
G_UTF32BE,
G_UTF32LE,
G_UCS2,
G_UCS4
} GUnicodeEncodingType;
I'm not sure whether the distinction in byte order is necessary or
called for, or if UCS can be specified when allowing for different byte
orders. A Unicode person will need to make a sensible suggestion.
Also, I've read on one FAQ that UTF-32 is just another name for
UCS-4 invented for political reasons, but I read at www.unicode.org that
UTF-32 is actually a subset of UCS-4 (ye gods). So we might want
something along the lines of #define G_UTF32 G_UCS4 in there.
Any objections to adding such a beast to gunicode.h? My program
needs to know what kind of internal conversion to do at runtime...
Thanks,
Derek
