UTF8Alphabet
This module provides the UTF-8 alphabet, together with some Asian countries, ISO3316-1 country codes and Unicode tables for versions of the OS that do not have them built-in.
It also implements the *FallbackAlphabet command used to control fallback behaviour when operating in the UTF-8 alphabet.
The zip file above contains an extensive ReadMe I will not duplicate here.
Elastic
0.07 (02 Jun 2018) Full range of Unicode zero-width characters suppressed.
This is an interesting text utility, somewhat like *Print, that implements Elastic Tabstops for text files containing tab characters.
It is also UTF-8 aware, and performs its tab expansion and formatting correctly when running under the UTF-8 alphabet, and also implements some special behaviour for particular Unicode characters.
NOTE HOWEVER that you will need UTF-8 support in your TaskWindow application or at the command line for the results to display correctly. If you understand UTF-8 sequences you will be able to confirm that the results are correct, I hope. Command line UTF-8 support will be released separately.
The zip file above contains a ReadMe and some example files, some of which feature UTF-8.
