Unicode Chars with C/C++
Author
Hello ppl :)
I have some questions about unicode stuff on C/C++ :P
The true is that i didnt search google very much cause i dont have time.
But from that little i have search i have some questions...
I want to make a cross platform 3DGameEngine, but i read that windows uses UTF-16 and Linux uses UTF-8.. so.. Do I need write different code? there is not some way to use only UTF-16 or only UTF-8 for both (Win,Linux) platforms?
Can I use standar characters for the 3D Engine and Unicode characters for the Game Engine? or all the project must use the same?
what is better to use.. char* (the unicode version.. something like w_char if i remember right) or string (the unicode version.. something like.. wstring)?
plz keep in mind that i want the Engine to be cross platform.
do you have any tutorial to suggest for starting?
thanks for your time guys! :D
Decide on one as your internal format and use a conversion library when you need to read or write text somewhere else.
are you sure linux uses utf 8. Our experience is that linux and OS X both use UCS 4( 32 bit unicode characters).
We use unicode 16 for windows/OS X and linux. We just ported CAtlString to the Mac and LInux and use that for all our character maninpulation. Of course that means good by stdC++ library:)
That may not be acceptable to you though:)

We also use ICU for when we need conversions:). Its always great when you can find code that just works for you!!! I'd definitely recommend it!

Are you referring to ICU? Yes, it's free and cross platform; it's distributed under the X license and has been ported to a large number of different platforms.
