I basically agree with Ezio. The doc currently starts with
Introduction to Unicode
History of Character Codes
...
It ends with
Tips for Writing Unicode-aware Programs.
...
The most important tip is:
Software should only work with Unicode strings internally, decoding the input data as soon as possible and encoding the output only at the end.
I think the how-to should *start* with that general principle and continue with the specific task-based how-tos from the thread. This will tell people who at least vaguely know the following material how to get going in a practical manner. |
