Most of the mozilla source are using unicode in the interface. They are open source
cross-platforms (When I say cross-platform, I mean cross Windows, Mac and Linux,
not just cross between Win95, Win98, and WinNT which defined by Mr. B. G. ) and you
are welcome to use it. They are also modular and you can only use part of them
thorugh XP-COM without pulling the whole mozilla source. Most of the basic unicode
support could be found under mozilla/xpcom/ds and mozilla/intl . But rememeber,
they are not in finaly form yet.
Here are some hints for you to find the "right" code in mozilla
* String processing- mozilla/xpcom/ds/nsCRT and nsString
* String Resources/Locale Sensitive Property File Handling- mozilla/intl/strres
* uppeercase / lowercase mapping-
mozilla/intl/unicharutil/public/nsICaseConversion.h
* Japanese Hankaku To Zenkaku transform in Unicode-
mozilla/intl/unicharutil/public/nsHankakuToZenkakuCID.h and nsITextTransform.h
* Unicode from/to other charset conversion- mozilla/intl/uconv
* Line breaking / word breaking - mozilla/intl/lwbrk
* Charset detection - mozilla/intl/chardet
* Locale operation- Date/Time format, sorting- mozilla/intl/locale
* Locale [Unix] / Scritp Code [Mac] / Code Page [Window] to Charset mapping-
mozilla/intl/uconv/public/nsIPlatformCharset.h
* Charset Alias mapping - mozilla/intl/uconv/public/nsICharsetAlias.h
* Unicode based HTML layout engine- mozilla/layout
* HTML parser which can handle Unicode - mozilla/htmlparser
* Unicode Text Display - mozilla/gfx
* Unicode based cross-platforms widget mozilla/widget/src/xpwidgets
