Subject: Re: unicode From: Erik Naggum <erik@naggum.no> Date: 2000/06/20 Newsgroups: comp.lang.lisp Message-ID: <3170519803902342@naggum.no> * Marco Antoniotti <marcoxa@parades.rm.cnr.it> | Now the question is: are CLisp, ECLipse and ACL compatible in their | treatment of Unicode? Since basically the only useful thing to do with Unicode (data) is to have _real_ wide strings, with characters at least 16 bits wide _each_ and real character types that reflect real Unicoditude, and since Unicode (the standard) defines pretty much what you can do in the outside world, the question of what it means to be compatible appears to be a question of how each Common Lisp treats _streams_ of Unicode characters. #:Erik -- If this is not what you expected, please alter your expectations.
