[Adonthell-devel] Unicode

[joël vennin]

Hello, 

Unicode stuff bring some minor changes and questions ....

        - there is a type in C++ which is able to support unicode, it's 
wstring. But if we use wstring we need to use some convertion between string 
<--> wstring. The first probleme is that:
                std::wstring a ="toto";
                std::cout << a << std::endl;
        Doesn"t work .... It's not really a problem, but to interact with 
python maybe there is one ?
        
        - Another choice is to use string and utf-8. But in this way std::cout 
<< my_utf8 is not very readable .....
        
        The problem is that the class label can store only one type wstring or 
string, we must decide. With SDL we are able to catch unicode so it's easy to 
store in a wstring. If we use a string we must convert the unicode from sdl 
input and store the data and after transform the utf8 to unicode. Because Free 
Type use unicode and not utf-8.

I want to use wstring but i wait you're suggestion, it's possible to create 
some function to convert utf8<->unicode if we need it.  


The stuff around the unicode is soon finished, just need a solution for this 
problem.
