My email reply to a previous posting on ucs use
in the ISO C and C++ programming languages was unfortunately
bounced because the mailer software thought that I was citing too much.

I think that was not productive, and would like to ask if the
list maintainers woul have a look at the parameters there.
I did try to only cite relevant parts of the mail.

The email i question was unfortunately mistrepresenting the C and
C++ standards, It indicated that you must use UCS to use the \u and \U
constructs in strings etc. This is not so. The \u and \U constructs,
eg \uxxxx refers to the abstract 10646 character, and is encoding independent.
You can then use any encoding, where the abstract character is present,
for this string.
