Would this be a reasonable basis for Haskell's 'Char' type? At some point perhaps there should be a 'Unicode' standard library for Haskell. For instance: encodeUTF8 :: String -> [Word8]; decodeUTF8 :: [Word8] -> Maybe String; encodeUTF16 :: String -> [Word16]; decodeUTF16 :: [Word16] -> Maybe String; data GeneralCategory = Letter_Uppercase | Letter_Lowercase | ... getGeneralCategory :: Char -> Maybe GeneralCategory; ...sorting & searching... ...canonicalisation... etc. Lots of work for someone. -- Ashley Yakeley, Seattle WA
