Hi Folks -
Since I just went through all of this, can someone explain to me what
string encoding the Unix and Mac VMs use for interfacing the file,
directory and clipboard functions? If these are all UTF-8 based (which I
suspect) then should we just define that *all* strings passed to the VM
are to be interpreted as UTF-8 and any VM or function that doesn't deal
with UTF-8 correctly is considered broken and needs fixing? It strikes
me as a nice, elegant solution to solve this problem once and forever.
Comments, anyone?
Cheers,
- Andreas
