[edit] UTF-8 and char/string vs wchar_t/wstring

Could you please explain why are you going to use wchar_t/wstring for UTF-8? char/string is enough for this purpose.

I have found no real advantage in using wchar_t/wstring when dealing with ncurses. For CIM 5 i just use strings/char*/gchar exactly because of this. The glib string functions expect UTF-8 encoded strings. Since UTF-8 is a *lot* of work (eg *everything* that prints to the display must be adapted) I don't recommend doing this for CIM 4* since I'm alreay working on CIM 5, which has UTF-8 support by design. -- Unknown 10:08, 12 August 2007 (CEST)
