Re: Writing to file as UTF8 with BOM ?

i'de like to go further working with UTF-16 to enable working with asian

"character" set (I'm an anciant chinese reader).


Others have explained this in more detail, but IMO left out the essential

clue: character *repertoire* and character *encoding* are different things.

(In this case, Unicode is a repertoire. utf-8, utf-16, etc. are encodings.)


yes i agree with that except their are repertoire wider than other isn't it ?

i thought utf-16, using more bytes than utf-8 in your analogy, is a wider repertoire than utf-8 ?


ps, is applescript utf-16-able ???


Yes. In fact, under Mac OS X (I don't know if this is since 10.0 or later)

AppleScrpt reads and writes UTF-16 by default. (Well, at least when you work

with class Unicode text. Maybe not for class string? -- I'd have to check.)



as the file system, i mean.
