[DUG] Upgrading to XE - Unicode strings questions

[John Bird]

?I read in one of the references that UTF-32 was a more common standard on 
Unix systems - which means I guess they have chosen the simplest format at 
the trade off of using more space?

I think linux/Windows/MacOS use UTF-16 more commonly...

Anyway for the time being, as long as the data in strings is unicode, but is 
still Latin 8859 (ie ASCII characters) I can without worrying too much 
iterate over a string one character at a time...using length.

That was the main thing I wanted to know....
