Re: UTF-8

I've used Aubit with Postgres and UTF-8 characters for the last 14 years or so.
I had problems at first, but resolved (most of) them by setting
A4GL_UI=TUI_wide
in my .aubitrc

There would still be problems if a utf8 character occurred at the end boundary of a form field, I guess;  but that hasn't been a problem for me. Yet!

And because Aubit counts bytes not characters, string slicing (string_var[n,m]) is hazardous, as is upshift/downshift - but such things can be got round by using psql functions (not wholly transportable), or C code.

Let me know if I can help with any particular problem.

Best wishes,
