Something I've wondered about is why, given Unicode is limited to 21 bits now, nobody seems to be using a 24-bit format ("UTF-24")?
Something I've wondered about is why, given Unicode is limited to 21 bits now, nobody seems to be using a 24-bit format ("UTF-24")? If you want constant-time indexing without bit-packing tricks, that'd be the ideal. Though, of course, constant-time indexing isn't what it's hyped up to be. That's only for codepoints. Actual characters you see on screen are often combinations of codepoints. So I've answered my own question really. Why does nobody use it? Because there's no point in it. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10143836/why-is-there-no-...
