in response to dan oscarsson's mail:
below i give a brief description of FSS-UTF. No doubt
you can get some documentation from X/Open. There is also a
set of the Plan 9 man pages regarding character sets available
via netlib and ftp (login as netlib) from research.att.com
in the files research/memo/utfman.(asc,ps).
in brief, though, i show a snippet from the utf(6) man page:
Letting numbers be binary, a rune x is converted to a multi-
byte UTF sequence as follows:
01. x in [00000000.0bbbbbbb] b 0bbbbbbb
10. x in [00000bbb.bbbbbbbb] b 110bbbbb, 10bbbbbb
11. x in [bbbbbbbb.bbbbbbbb] b 1110bbbb, 10bbbbbb, 10bbbbbb
(a rune is the internal 16bit wide character type; bits are shown
high to low from left to right).
