Re: [Openexr-devel] RE: UNICODE support in openexr file I/O

[Dennis Crowley]

The UTF8 encoding is every bit as expressive as UTF16 or UTF32. 
It is not a fixed word length encoding.  It dynamically expands
it's "word size" (per character) so that it can cover the entire
UNICODE space.  It is an encoding, not a subset.

And I do believe that Nick speaks both English *and* Japanese.

No, UTF-8 is not at all enough.... I said I want to use Kanji, not karakana or hiragana.... That means I need to use one of the 16-bits "strange" signs.... Can't conver to UTF-8 because I will loose "bits"... Kanji CAN'T be translated to out latin alphabet, because each sign means an "object", are NOT letters, so I need to enter the 16/32bits unicode. And who says Kanji says cyrilic or other signs... YOu , because are almost english talkers, are not at all conscient of the difficulties saving/naming files. For a japanese, is weird to be forced to name a file autoexec.bat and not $%!$"&!W%343.$!&... So no, UTF8 is not enough, nust be UTF16 or better to use one of the universal signs.
