Hello Tom,

i don't understand what you mean. are you support all 2^20 codepoints in Data.Text package?

Bulat,

Yes, its internal representation is UTF-16, which is capable of encoding *any* valid Unicode codepoint.

Just like Char is capable of encoding any valid Unicode codepoint.

Unless a Char in Haskell is 32 bits (or at least more than 16 bits) it con NOT encode all Unicode points. -Tako
