utf-16

Trying to rephrase: Can you map every combining character combination into one code point? I'm new to Unicode, but it seems to me that there is no encoding, normalization or representation where one character would be one code point in every case in Unicode. Is this correct? Is this true for Basic Multilingual Plane also? If you mean one char == one number (ie: where every char is represented by the same number of bytes/words/what-have-you): in UCS-4, each character is represented by a 4-byte number. That's way more than big enough for every character to be represented by a single value, but

I am having an issue with Excel not saving my files properly. I have a list of data which is organized into three columns: String String INt. I want to read this file into a Java program to perform some calculations. Excel exporting as a .csv file causes me to lose significant data as a result of the native UTF-8 encoding. I can save it as a UTF-16 .txt file however, I get another annoying result. If i insert columns of commas between each field field it saves the commas with quotes around it! I have seen some solutions to this problem but they do not preserve the UTF-16 encoding. Any help

I am writing a script that takes a UTF-16 encoded text file as input and outputs a UTF-16 encoded text file. use open "encoding(UTF-16)"; open INPUT, "< input.txt" or die "cannot open > input.txt: $!\n"; open(OUTPUT,"> output.txt"); while(<INPUT>) { print OUTPUT "$_\n" } Let's just say that my program writes everything from input.txt into output.txt. This WORKS perfectly fine in my cygwin environment, which is using "This is perl 5, version 14, subversion 2 (v5.14.2) built for cygwin-thread-multi-64int" But in my Windows environment, which is using "This is perl 5, version 12, subversion 3 (v5

UCS2 easier to use in Visual C++, than UTF encoding. What languages I can not support in UCS2 encoding? Nothing you're likely to care about or, more to the point, have fonts for. UCS2 gives you the Basic Multilingual Plane; you can find overviews of the assigned planes on the Unicode site 0 - Basic Multilingual Plane 1 - Supplementary Multilingual Plane (ancient symbols, Klingon, etc.) 2 - Supplementary Ideagraphic Plane (CJK unified ideographs extensions) 3 - Tertiary Ideographic Plane (ancient Chinese characters) 14 - Supplementary Special-Purpose Plane (tag characters and variations - ?)
