I applaud the addition of Unicode 3.2 support in the 10.2 Foundation
release.
NSCharacterSet 's longCharacterIsMember: (UTF32Char) is a great
foundation for starting to explore the higher unicode planes.
(
http://www.unicode.org/glossary/#plane).
While a good start, I'm wondering if its possible to work with 32-bit
Unicode in NSStrings. There don't seem to be any 32bit methods on
NSString (everything is UTF8, unichar (16-bit) or char (8 bit)) based.
I imagine re-engineering the whole text system, including
NSLayoutManager et al. to handle 32 bit strings is a very large job,
but I am wondering if there is a way to work with 32 bit string data
today that I've missed?
