For your information:
Unicode 4.0 adds two sets of decimal digits. :-)
1946..194F ; Nd # [10] LIMBU DIGIT ZERO..LIMBU DIGIT NINE
104A0..104A9 ; Nd # [10] OSMANYA DIGIT ZERO..OSMANYA DIGIT NINE
Thanks! I wasn't aware of these additions. I gave them a try
but it appears Perl 5.8.0 was treating Unicode 4.0 chars as invalid.
My GNOME terminal seemed to be converting Osmanya into something else
also.
I'd like to bring up another utf8 issue. My scripts that work with
utf8 text always seem to start with:
use utf8;
if ( $] >= 5.007 ) {
binmode (STDOUT, ":utf8");
}
It would be nice if "use utf8" set IO modes for utf8 automagically.
Perhaps a pragma could be passed such as: use utf8 ':all' (or something),
that set everything to utf8 that is settable.
cheers,
/Daniel
