# UTF-8 Strings
|
||
|
||
Strings in Retro have been C-style null terminated sequences of ASCII
|
||
characters. I'm seeking to change this as I'd like to support Unicode
|
||
(UTF-8) and to merge much of the string and array handling code.
|
||
|
||
This will be an ongoing process.
|
||
|
||
Temporary sigil.

:sigil:" (-a) a:from-string class:data ; immediate

Return the length (in utf8 characters or bytes) of a string.

|

:us:length/bytes (a-n) a:length ;
