Re: [Openexr-devel] UNICODE support in openexr file I/OYou don't
need any changes in the interface to support UTF-8. Storing and
retrieving UTF-8 strings is done with traditional 8bits string based
functions. IMO, something like "character strings are in UTF-8
format" could be part of the specifications though. Unless you are
thinking about sone API that would translate UTF-8 to Unicode back
and forth automatically.
My understanding of UTF-8 is that some characters require multiple
octets to represent so it is not so simple as simply assuming that
strings are UTF-8. The library needs to be prepared to handle UTF-8
internally if it does any string parsing. It needs to know for sure
if the string is UTF-8. Some existing strings may use extended
characters (in the system's native character set) but not UTF-8.
