Hi
I am doing a project where I have to use multiple character sets for the
input. They would be English, Symbol and possible Greek, These will be used
as symbols for processing an algebraic expression. I need to input them
and then display them on a windows screen. There is a total of 10 symbols
not in the ASCII character set.
This is a new area for me and would appreciate some pointers on how to
approach the problem. I am not sure if I should be looking at Unicode or
something else.
I would appreciate any suggestions of coding examples some one could
suggest. I am using c# and net 1.0.
Thanks in advance for your help.

In theory, for a WinForms app you probably don't even need to worry about
it. The String class is Unicode-based, so you should able able to manipulate
any character without any special code.
The trick is choosing a font that contains representations of all the
characters you'll be using. Arial contains the Latin alphabet, the Greek
alphabet, and many mathematical operators, but not as many as the Symbol
font. If you need to use a mix of fonts to display all the characters you
need, then it could get more complicated since the built-in controls mostly
only let you specify a single font for display.

A unicode font, something like Arial Unicode MS or other full unicode fonts
should have most of what you want. The main problem I'd see is simplicity of
input, I assume you are expecting the user to type in the commands. Do you
have a method of inserting those characters figured out? alt+number
combinations are not fun and several of those characters are not on a
standard english keyboard.

I've been doing a lot of work both creating and consuming web services, and

I'm just now trying to give my site a character encoding of UTF-8. The
site has been built in a hodge-podge way over the last 6 years. The

Hi,
I am a bit list in encoding related stuff. Let me explain what I am
doing (yes it's C++ :)):
I am getting some input content due Expat Xml Parser. I've setup Expat
to use wchar_t.
First question is this -- what is the difference of unsigned short,
wchar_t and char?
Okay, wchar_t is an built-in type of C++ and its two bytes of size
whereas char is always one byte.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
