Thanks for investigating and sorry it took time from your weekend. I'm also glad you're going to keep blogging - it's a great read!

No apology needed -- it is a great find, and you were an important step to finding it. Feel free to read and question any time!

Any chance if a fix for downlevel platforms? :-)

Yes, how wonderful is open collaboration, it's rather incredible how much better it makes a development process! How much more wonderful still would be freedom of code! Of course, this is why Free Software will inevitably triumph - possibly not organically, but rather by converting unbelievers like yourself, however grudgingly. Here you show yourself taking the first baby steps, and if it were not for your salary clouding your judgements your steps would be quicker and heartier still. Guess what - Free Software is generally far more localis/zed and internationalis/zed and even globalis/zed than your own patheticly Anglocentric offerings. This is as a direct result of the freedom - because of the sense of ownership and community and collaboration that can only come from the trust encircled with code. You are obviously an exceptionally talented man leading an exceptionally talented men and women, probably the best internationalis/zation individuals in the world. It must hurt terribly to be outflanked despite this. Perhaps you should reflect on the reasons why, and start embracing and engaging all those who care at a deeper level.

It depends on context.

So why does ü (U+00FC) return C3_NONSPACING? What does this flag mean if non-spacing characters (U+0308) don't have it, and characters which flow as normal do?

re: We broke CharNext/CharPrev (or, bugs found through blogging?)

Michael S. Kaplan — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 07:08:00 GMT

Actually, in Vista it returns C3_ALPHA | C3_DIACRITIC | C3_NONSPACING since it is a letter with a diacritic included in it....

U+0308 has C3_DIACRITIC | C3_NONSPACING there.

What full results are you seeing, and on what platform?
