RE: [Ltru] Re: UTF-8

[Peter Constable <petercon at microsoft.com>]

There's a prior question: what will the content of registry records
contain? (We don't need an encoding that supports the entire UCS if we
don't intend to have records using characters from that entire
repertoire.) I don't recall if that's been discussed and resolved.

I do support using an encoding that directly supports whatever
characters we wish to allow in the registry without use of NCRs or other
such escape mechanisms; and if we wish to allow any UCS character in the
registry then I would support using UTF-8 as the encoding.
