Re: Unicode (was What's up with Quercus?)

> With the loss of Unicode (which now lacks even an implementation > plan) ... How has Unicode been lost? There is tons of encoding stuff in PHP. As of 5.3, you can use declare() to set the encoding for scripts. There is the mb_* stuff for multibyte support. Obviously, saying PHP has "no Unicode" as others have said, is wrong. There is definitely some Unicode in PHP. Unicode (which itself is changing), will probably never be "done", and therefore never done in PHP. But I've worked on multilingual UTF8 web apps in PHP, and I never lacked for support. Maybe sorting of Unicode strings? And I guess that some of the PHP string functions can be confused on some mb strings. Tom
