ooRexx and Character Sets (Dealing with UTF-8)

Publication: Chapter in book/Conference proceedingContribution to conference proceedings

Abstract

In today's world the UTF-8 Unicode character set becomes more and more dominant as more and more important Internet infrastructures are standardizing on it. Rexx and ooRexx were created with a 8-bit character set in mind and as such are not able to correctly do character translations to and from UTF-8 on their own on all operating systems. Still, it is possible to correctly use UTF-8 on the different platforms. This talk introduces some of the available techniques.
