Unicode

1 New Member
Hi,

A quick question on Unicode.

I understand that in Unicode, each character is assigned a unique value. If this is the case, why do we need code pages i.e. one code page for US and one for UK etc.

Any ideas.

Thanks

Unicode is related with the representation of the human languages for the use in the computers. This unicode represents the characters of the human languages.
Tell your question in details I have worked a lot on the Unicode in last 03 months.

I'm sure this is a very simple thing to do, once you know how to do it, but I am having no fun at all trying to write utf-8 strings to a unicode file. Does anyone have a couple of lines of code that - opens a file appropriately for output - writes to this file Thanks very much. Michael Weir

I'm trying to grab a document off the Web and toss it into a MySQL database, but I keep running into the various encoding problems with Unicode (that aren't a problem for me with GB2312, BIG 5, etc.) What I'd like is something as simple as: CREATE TABLE junk (junklet VARCHAR(2500) CHARACTER SET UTF8)); import MySQLdb, re,urllib

Hi, For the first time in my programmer life, I have to take care of character encoding. I have a question about the BOM marks. If I understand well, into the UTF-8 unicode binary representation, some systems add at the beginning of the file a BOM mark (Windows?), some don't. (Linux?). Therefore, the exact same text encoded in the same UTF-8 will result in two different binary files, and of a slightly different length. Right ?

Recently I was editing a document in GoLive 6. I like GoLive because it has some nice features such as: * rewrite source code * check syntax * global search & replace (through several files at once) * regular expression search & replace.

Hi - I'm setting up a streamreader in a VB.NET app to read a text file and display its contents in a multiline textbox. If I set it up with System.Text.Encoding.Unicode, it reads a unicode file just fine. If I set it up as ASCII, it reads a non-unicode text file. But I don't know the file format in advance. How can my app determine whether to use Unicode encoding before I read the
