P.S.: The announcement of the Arabic Support for X-Windows & Motif, is
expected in January. English, Hebrew, and Arabic will be handled by 8 bits
(!), including the full set of
Arabic glyphes.

It might speed up some applications 2 or 3 times. You have to realize that traditional orthography is already somewhat Huffman encoded--the common words are already shorter. The word "the" is three letters. The word "a" is already one letter. By the time you figure out how to encode spaces and punctuation, the encoding itself is only going to give 50-60% compression at the most. The other aspect is that you don't have to spend any time finding word boundaries. For an application that is interested in word boundaries, that's a win, but for applications that aren't, it's not. Indeed, in the general case, any application that is interested in individual characters will be slowed down, because you'd have to decode the word to characters internally. Still, for some applications, this would be a reasonable optimization. Tim Bunce writes: : Doesn't seem particularly revolutionary. Many people, including myself, : have already spoken of using UTF8 'characters' to represent arbitary : encodings and using regular expressions to search and manipulate them. Yes. : I do agree that it's a powerful concept that could have wide applications. : Someone just needs to do the leg work and create a module to make it : easy to use.The question is how far you have to go with this. Since unicode is compatible
with ascii, you can still say
use utf8;
print "foo\n";
But a utf8 encoding applies to all the strings in its scope. What should
use utf8 'woyka_english';
print "foo\n";
do? Encode "foo\n" into woykan, probably, and reverse translate on print.
Or not...
