RE: lua for unicode

[james@...]

Hmm?

Unicode is great standard. It supports all of the world's languages and
then some.
Thankfully, strings in Lua can be Unicode, UTF16, ASCII, or 8 bit code
page mapped. 
Unfortunately I don't believe the lib src's support wide character
calls. I'm sure 
ports of these will surface in time, or preferably, they will be
converted into 
libs which automatically detect the string width of the platform they
run on.

Regards,
Jim
