@ -147,6 +147,10 @@ Unicode and UTF-8 in FLTK involves three important areas:
The current implementation of Unicode / UTF-8 in FLTK will impose
the following limitations:
- An implementation note in the code says that all functions are
LIMITED to 24 bit Unicode values, but also says that only 16 bits
are really used under linux and win32.
- FLTK will only handle single characters, so composed characters
consisting of a base character and floating accent characters
will be treated as multiple characters;
@ -155,56 +159,229 @@ the following limitations:
and not on a general Unicode character basis;
- FLTK will not handle right-to-left or bi-directional text;
\todo
Verify 16/24 bit Unicode limit for different character sets?
OksiD's code appears limited to 16-bit whereas the FLTK2 code
appears to handle a wider set. What about illegal characters?

\section unicode_fltk_calls FLTK Unicode and UTF8 functions
- unsigned int fl_nonspacing(unsigned int ucs)
This section currently provides a brief overview of the functions.
For more details, consult the main text for each function via its link.
int fl_utf8locale()
\b FLTK2
<br>
\par
\p %fl_utf8locale() returns true if the "locale" seems to indicate
that UTF-8 encoding is used.
\par
<i>It is highly recommended that your change your system so this does return
true!</i>
int fl_utf8test(const char *src, unsigned len)
\b FLTK2
<br>
\par
\p %fl_utf8test() examines the first \p len bytes of \p src.
It returns 0 if there are any illegal UTF-8 sequences;
1 if \p src contains plain ASCII or if \p len is zero;
or 2, 3 or 4 to indicate the range of Unicode characters found.
int fl_utf_nb_char(const unsigned char *buf, int len)
\b OksiD
- int fl_tolower(unsigned int ucs)
<br>
\par
Returns the number of UTF-8 character in the first \p len bytes of \p buf.
int fl_unichar_to_utf8_size(Fl_Unichar)
<br>
int fl_utf8bytes(unsigned ucs)
<br>
\par
Returns the number of bytes needed to encode \p ucs in UTF-8.
int fl_utf8len(char c)
\b OksiD
- int fl_toupper(unsigned int ucs)
<br>
\par
If \p c is a valid first byte of a UTF-8 encoded character sequence,
\p %fl_utf8len() will return the number of bytes in that sequence.
It returns -1 if \p c is not a valid first byte.
unsigned int fl_nonspacing(unsigned int ucs)
\b OksiD
- int fl_unichar_to_utf8_size(Fl_Unichar)
- char* fl_utf2mbcs (const char *src)
<br>
\par
Returns true if \p ucs is a non-spacing character.
<b>[What are non-spacing characters?]</b>
const char* fl_utf8back(const char *p, const char *start, const char *end)
\b FLTK2
<br>
const char* fl_utf8fwd(const char *p, const char *start, const char *end)
\b FLTK2
<br>
\par
If \p p already points to the start of a UTF-8 character sequence,
these functions will return \p p.
Otherwise \p %fl_utf8back() searches backwards from \p p
and \p %fl_utf8fwd() searches forwards from \p p,
within the \p start and \p end limits,
looking for the start of a UTF-8 character.
unsigned int fl_utf8decode(const char *p, const char *end, int *len)
\b FLTK2
<br>
int fl_utf8encode(unsigned ucs, char *buf)
\b FLTK2
<br>
\par
\p %fl_utf8decode() attempts to decode the UTF-8 character that starts
at \p p and may not extend past \p end.
It returns the Unicode value, and the length of the UTF-8 character sequence
is returned via the \p len argument.
\p %fl_utf8encode() writes the UTF-8 encoding of \p ucs into \p buf
and returns the number of bytes in the sequence.
See the main documentation for the treatment of illegal Unicode
and UTF-8 sequences.
unsigned int fl_utf8froma(char *dst, unsigned dstlen, const char *src, unsigned srclen)
\b FLTK2
<br>
unsigned int fl_utf8toa(const char *src, unsigned srclen, char *dst, unsigned dstlen)
\b FLTK2
<br>
\par
\p %fl_utf8froma() converts a character string containing single bytes
per character (i.e. ASCII or ISO-8859-1) into UTF-8.
If the \p src string contains only ASCII characters, the return value will
be the same as \p srclen.
\par
\p %fl_utf8toa() converts a string containing UTF-8 characters into
single byte characters. UTF-8 characters do not correspond to ASCII
or ISO-8859-1 characters below 0xFF are replaced with '?'.
\par
Both functions return the number of bytes that would be written, not
counting the null terminator.
\p destlen provides a means of limiting the number of bytes written,
so setting \p destlen to zero is a means of measuring how much storage
would be needed before doing the real conversion.
char* fl_utf2mbcs(const char *src)
\b OksiD
- const char* fl_utf8back(const char *pos, const char *start, const char *end)
<br>
\par
converts a UTF-8 string to a local multi-byte character string.
<b>[More info required here!]</b>
unsigned int fl_utf8fromwc(char *dst, unsigned dstlen, const wchar_t *src, unsigned srclen)
\b FLTK2
- int fl_utf8bytes(unsigned ucs)
- unsigned int fl_utf8decode(const char *start, const char *end, int *len)
<br>
unsigned int fl_utf8towc(const char *src, unsigned srclen, wchar_t *dst, unsigned dstlen)
\b FLTK2
- int fl_utf8encode(unsigned ucs, char *buf)
- unsigned int fl_utf8from_mb(char *dst, unsigned dstlen, const char *src, unsigned srclen)
<br>
unsigned int fl_utf8toUtf16(const char *src, unsigned srclen, unsigned short *dst, unsigned dstlen)
\b FLTK2
- unsigned int fl_utf8froma(char *dst, unsigned dstlen, const char *src, unsigned srclen)
<br>
\par
These routines convert between UTF-8 and \p wchar_t or "wide character"
strings.
The difficulty lies in the fact \p sizeof(wchar_t) is 2 on Windows
and 4 on Linux and most other systems.
Therefore some "wide characters" on Windows may be represented
as "surrogate pairs" of more than one \p wchar_t.
\par
\p %fl_utf8fromwc() converts from a "wide character" string to UTF-8.
Note that \p srclen is the number of \p wchar_t elements in the source
string and on Windows and this might be larger than the number of characters.
\p dstlen specifies the maximum number of \b bytes to copy, including
the null terminator.
\par
\p %fl_utf8towc() converts a UTF-8 string into a "wide character" string.
Note that on Windows, some "wide characters" might result in "surrogate
pairs" and therefore the return value might be more than the number of
characters.
\p dstlen specifies the maximum number of \b wchar_t elements to copy,
including a zero terminating element.
<b>[Is this all worded correctly?]</b>
\par
\p %fl_utf8toUtf16() converts a UTF-8 string into a "wide character"
string using UTF-16 encoding to handle the "surrogate pairs" on Windows.
\p dstlen specifies the maximum number of \b wchar_t elements to copy,
including a zero terminating element.
<b>[Is this all worded correctly?]</b>
\par
These routines all return the number of elements that would be required
for a full conversion of the \p src string, including the zero terminator.
Therefore setting \p dstlen to zero is a way of measuring how much storage
would be needed before doing the real conversion.
unsigned int fl_utf8from_mb(char *dst, unsigned dstlen, const char *src, unsigned srclen)

\b FLTK2
- int fl_utf_nb_char(const unsigned char *buf, int len)
<br>
\par
These functions convert between UTF-8 and the locale-specific multi-byte
encodings used on some systems for filenames, etc.
If fl_utf8locale() returns true, these functions don't do anything useful.
<b>[Is this all worded correctly?]</b>
int fl_tolower(unsigned int ucs)

<br>
int fl_toupper(unsigned int ucs)

<br>
int fl_utf_toupper(const unsigned char *str, int len, char *buf)
\b OksiD
- int fl_utf_toupper(const unsigned char *str, int len, char *buf)
<br>
\par
\p %fl_tolower() and \p %fl_toupper() convert a single Unicode character
from upper to lower case, and vice versa.
\p %fl_utf_tolower() and \p %fl_utf_toupper() convert a string of bytes,
some of which may be multi-byte UTF-8 encodings of Unicode characters,
from upper to lower case, and vice versa.
\par
Warning: to be safe, \p buf length must be at least \p 3*len
[for 16-bit Unicode]
int fl_utf_strcasecmp(const char *s1, const char *s2)
\b OksiD
- int fl_utf8len(char c)
<br>
int fl_utf_strncasecmp(const char *s1, const char *s2, int n)
\b OksiD
<br>
\par
\p %fl_utf_strcasecmp() is a UTF-8 aware string comparison function that
converts the strings to lower case Unicode as part of the comparison.
\p %flt_utf_strncasecmp() only compares the first \p n characters [bytes?]
