Lokalisiert: Das kleine EsZett im World Wide Web


Wie immer, wenn etwas immer größer und komplizierter wird, zeichnet sich ein Trend zur Lokalisierung ab.

Remember a String object in .NET is a collection of Char objects, where a Char object in turn s announced as a unicode character, encoded by a 16bit unsigned integer. Thus, more precisely speaking, a single Char object is able to encode any codepoint within the basic multilingual lane (BMP), i.e. between U+0000 and U+FFFF. So, where goes the rest of the story?
