Hi all
I was trying to enhance the test code in test/brl_checks.c so that test
code can use utf-8 strings instead of ascii with \xhhhh encodings. For
that I was trying some code from gnulib to convert utf-8 to utf-16 as I
thought widechar was basically ucs-2 (which was superseded by
utf-16[1]). Now my code doesn't work. This could have many reasons but
the question is of course: is the widechar type really utf-16? Or is it
maybe utf-16 with little endian? Or is it something else altogether?
Thanks
Christian
