Using the Qt parlance I'd divide the real String from the Byte Array so,
we've:
- BString contains only valid Unicode chars
- BByteArray what do you want, raw bytes, struct and so on,,, it can
have methods to convert from BString to other character encodings (storing
them in BByteArray), to add raw bytes and get them... see here:
http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qbytearray.html
Shall it be a BChar class, too? A Class to hold unicode characters and
convert them to other encodings and so on? All Haiku API shall be changed
to support BChar class, obviously,,.
See here for QChar for inspiration:
