A quick clarification please.

Hi Andrew,
          If we use UTF-32 as our internal format in the piecetable will
we still need two or more 32-bit numbers to represent combining
characters?

If not, ie if UTF-32 can hold all unicode in a single 32 bit number I vote
for that as our internal format.

I really don't like the idea of variable length strings per glyph in our
piecetable though I don't mind converting to that when presenting text to
a GUI.

Cheers

Martin
