A BOCU-1 converter is part of ICU4C 2.2, to be released tomorrow. I guess ICU counts as a "toolkit". http://oss.software.ibm.com/icu/download/2.2/ Many IBM and non-IBM products use ICU as their conversion engine, among other services. We are talking with some product teams about whether they can recommend to their customers to use BOCU-1. I cannot disclose any details, sorry. There is currently no product that supports BOCU-1. Technically, there will be as soon as new releases of ICU-using applications come out with ICU 2.2, even if they don't advertise BOCU-1 in their marketing material. > If Unicode was to replace SCSU with BOCU-1, thus keeping the set of > Unicode encodings that "someone" recomments constant, I wouldn't > worry.....but Unicode is still sticking with SCSU. There is no intention at this time to deprecate or un-recommend SCSU, as far as I am aware of. SCSU is useful in some places, and is hardwired into the Symbian OS (mobile phones/PDAs). > (that said, unless someone else feels unhappy about adding One More > Encoding, I think it's probably not a big deal to approve it.) Thanks! I would like to make one more change if possible: To replace the current URL for the specification (pointing to the design doc on oss.software.ibm.com) with the following URL: http://www.unicode.org/notes/tn6/ Best regards, markusReceived on Wednesday, 14 August 2002 12:56:20 GMT
