Re: libseed-list Defining a gchar in seed?

While Alan is right in that JavaScript should have most of what you need UTF-wise, that's no reason for us to get this wrong (those functions *should* be made to work, you weren't wrong to try to use them). I'll take a look at it when I get a chance (if I don't respond within a few days, file a bug so that I don't forget - or, you can do that anyway).
