>getting pretty snotty now aren't you

or are you suffering from pms today :mrgreen:
That
was pretty sharp-tongued, even for me.

I was suffering from arrogant forumgoers trying to show off their brilliance by incorrectly "correcting" me with meaningless crap. But you wouldn't do that...more than once.
>you might (or might not) be supprised
I'm very surprised, actually, since it's immediately obvious what the macro does and that it only works with string literals. Though I shouldn't be surprised, with the rampant idiocy of many programmers. :rolleyes:
>Unicode is not an encoding
From dictionary.com:
encoding: Computer Science. To format (electronic data) according to a standard format.
From unicode.org (emphasis is mine):
Q: What is Unicode?
A: Unicode is the universal character encoding, maintained by the Unicode Consortium. This encoding standard provides the basis for processing, storage and interchange of text data in any language in all modern software and information technology protocols.
Now, it's entirely possible that the Unicode Consortium doesn't know what encoding means, or hired someone to write their FAQ who doesn't know what encoding means, or you're being far too pedantic and making mistakes in the process.
How about we meet halfway and call Unicode a code table? I respect you too much to flame you out of existence.
