Re[2]: [Haskell-cafe] UTF-16 to UTF-8

Hello Gunther, Thursday, January 28, 2010, 4:07:07 PM, you wrote:

thanks for the tip, but how do I use the library? I can't really make out how to feed it UTF-16 and get String (UTF-8) back.

Haskell String type isn't UTF-8 encoded. it's [Char] where Char is in UCS-4 aka UTF-32 :)

BTW: I need this function because I'm using HDBC-ODBC with MS Access and in MS Access apparently every string is in UTF-16.

look at withTString and its friends: http://hamaoka.org/ghc6/libraries/Win32/src/System-Win32-Types.html

is there a library which converts from utf-16 to utf-8?

The text library can (you can also choose between big and little endian UTF-16).
