Compare by content: Unicode

Post by *Hakarien »

Switching on unicode flag in compare by content produces garbage with all my utf-8 coded files.

Unicode is meant for UTF-16, not UTF-8! UTF-8 is currently not supported in Compare by content function.

Well, according to Unicode and ISO/IEC 10646, utf-8 utf utf-16 and utf-32 are ... unicodes.
If u'are right then the label should be utf-16 which is a pity since utf-8 is most spread nowadays.

I know that, but I was talking about the meaning of the corresponding checkbox in TC, not in general.

I personally don't agree to it (UTF-8 is the most inconvenient Unicode format I've ever seen!), but it doesn't matter here. It has already been requested many times that TC supported UTF-8 in Compare by content, but there are some technical difficulties. Use Search and you'll find the requests themselves and Ghisler's replies to them.

That because of its "variable size code" utf-8 is the most inconvenient Unicode format is beside the point is this forum. It is nevertheless more and more used.

I just said than then the corresponding checkbox in TC should then be labeled UTF-16

Thx for answering, I'll go to the whishlist now :-)

:) Hello, bonsoir !
I just said than then the corresponding checkbox in TC should then be labeled UTF-16
• I just tried to set :
6206="&Unicode¦UTF16"
It's displayed (using a narrow complete font and the English LNG). There is room enough even with Tahoma 8, normal.
- UTF-16 is mentioned in the Help, though…summarily !
