Hi guys.
I read that C not define if a char is signed or unsigned, and in GCC page this says that it can be signed on x86 and unsigned in PowerPPC and ARM.
Okey, I'm writing a program with GLIB that define char as gchar (not more than it, only a way for standardization).
My question is, what about UTF-8? It use more than an block of memory?
Say that I have a variable
unsigned char *string = "My string with UTF8 enconding ~> çã";
See, if I declare my variable as
unsigned
I will have only 127 values (so my program will to store more blocks of mem) or the UTF-8 change to negative too?
Sorry if I can't explain it correctly, but I think that i is a bit complex.
NOTE: Thanks for all answer
I don't understand how it is interpreted normally.
I think that like ascii, if I have a signed and unsigned char on my program, the strings have diferently values, and it leads to confuse, imagine it in utf8 so.
