Examining the attributes of UTF-16 and UTF-8, I can't find any reason to prefer UTF-16. However, checking out Java and C#, it looks like strings and chars there default to UTF-16. I was thinking that it might be for historic reasons, or perhaps for performance reasons, but couldn't find any information. Anyone knows why these languages...
Some time in the near future I will need to implement a cross-language word count, or if that is not possible, a cross-language character count. By word count I mean an accurate count of the words contained within the given text, taking the language of the text. The language of the text is set by a user, and will be assumed to be correc...
I got a programm in haskell outputting utf-8 using the package utf8-string and using only the output functions of this package. I set the encoding of each file I write to this way : hSetEncoding myFile utf8 {- myFile may be stdout -} but when I try to output : alpha = [toEnum 0x03B1] {- α -} instead of the nice alpha letter I got ...
Hello, i have a very simple question I can't seem to get my head around. I have a properly encoded UTF8-String I parse into a JObject with Json.NET, fiddle around with some values and write it to the commandline, keeping the encoded characters intact.

Suppose I have UTF-8 content stored in memory, how do I read the characters using a pointer? I presume I need to watch for the 8th bit indicating a multi-byte character, but how exactly do I turn the sequence into a valid Unicode character? Also, is wchar_t the proper type to store a single Unicode character? This is what I have in ...
I retrieve data from a MySQL database which is often in foreign languages and encoded with UTF-8. This displays fine normally but when set as the value for a textarea or text box it doesn't display correctly. Infact it looks like this: ыкаепнрошгув When normally ...

On the MSDN site there is an example of some C# code that shows how to make a web request with POST'ed data. Here is an excerpt of that code: WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create ("http://www.contoso.com/PostAccepter.aspx "); request.Method = "POST"; string postData = "This is a test that posts this string to a Web server."; byte[] by...
I'm having trouble storing and outputting an ndash character as UTF-8 in Django. I'm getting data from an API. In raw form, as retrieved and viewed in a text editor, given unit of data may be similar to: "I love this detergent \u2013 it is so inspiring." (\u2013 is & ndash; as an html entity). If I get this straight from an API and...
I have been wondering why when I set the encoding to UTF-8 and rendering the XML it replace the extended characters by escape characters (or character reference) like ’ instead of '? I'm using the Render method render(contentType:"text/xml", encoding:"UTF-8") {...} with a proper header render(contentType:"text/xml", encoding:...

Hi, I recently discovered that relying on default encoding of JVM causes bugs. I should explicitly use specific encoding ex. UTF-8 while working with String, InputStreams etc. I have a huge codebase to scan for ensuring this. Could somebody suggest me some simpler way to check this than searching the whole codebase. Thanks Nayn ...
