Re: Multibyte encoding - what should a package provide?
bortzmeyer> There is a classical example which is even simpler to grasp for European-languages users: the decimal dot in english (3.14) is the same glyph (== shape) as the dot which marks the end of a sentence.
although this example illustrates a good point, i think it is a little
different from what was mentioned originally. there really are
characters that look different that are treated as the same, and i
think this is not illustrated by the offered example.
in the 'english decimal dot'/'end of sentence marker' case, the glyphs
really are the same, aren't they? (please tell me if you think i'm off
on this point)
as i mentioned in the original message, i think it would be worthwhile
to have someone post images that illustrate the point.
