Hi,
I'm not sure this is the right place for posting this question --
but I don't know of any other mailing list talking of i18n issues.
I'm currently working on the internationalization of a product
for asian countries, especially Japan. For implementation reasons,
I'm considering only supporting multibyte encodings with the
following properties:
1. They are a superset of ASCII, which means that a character starting
with a byte in the range [0x00, 0x7F] is a one-byte ASCII
character;
2. They don't use shift states (ie, a multibyte character can always
be interpreted independently of the ones which precede it.)
Does anybody knows if these restrictions are reasonable? I know that EUC
and SJIS are OK, and that JIS isn't; will not supporting JIS cut a big
part of the market? Thanks for any advice.
