-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
The large variety of different character sets currently used is a big
hassle. Unicode promises to be an elegant solution out of this, and
using the ASCII-compatible UTF-8 encoding, it is very feasible to use
Unicode in a POSIX environment. However, a bit of work is still
necessary before UTF-8 can be widely deployed under GNU/Linux and
XFree86.
If you are interested in working towards better support of Unicode/UTF-8
under GNU, X11, Linux, FreeBSD, and similar POSIX environments, then
please join the new linux-utf8 mailing list. The list is also a good
source of information on the forthcoming Unicode support in glibc 2.2
and XFree86 4.0.
To subscribe, send to "majordomo@nl.linux.org" a message with the line
"subscribe linux-utf8" in the body. You can also browse the linux-utf8
archive on http://www.linux.eu.org/lists/linux-utf8/
Some background information and pointers to further resources
are available on
