Hi all,
I need to handle some xml data, and this involves unicode encoded

data.  I can't find anything alike in the documentation.
Any pointers/hints what to read/use?

Sorry, no unicode support in Chicken, I'm afraid.
You will need to either write some translation code
yourself or use an external C library.


What do you mean by "translation code".  My point is that I'd like to
use especially SRFI 13 with unicode strings...  How much work is this
going to be?


That would need a separate unicode string type (no big deal) and
a set of standard string-procedures that handle these properly (much
more complicated - especially if you expect all the R5RS routines
to do the right thing). And of course one would have to fix srfi-13
and srfi-14 appropriately. I don't know how hard this is. I have
to check the sources...


cheers,
felix
