UTF-8

SL uses UTF-8 for storing and transmitting strings and with these functions you can work with Unicode characters.

These functions are part of the Combined Library written by Strife Onizuka.

General Use

This version will work fine in LSO and Mono but not in LSLEditor. <lsl>//===================================================// // Combined Library // // "Feb 4 2008", "08:35:00" // // Copyright (C) 2004-2008, Strife Onizuka (cc-by) // // http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ // //===================================================// //{

Mono Safe

These versions are Mono and LSO safe but will not execute as quickly in LSO as the Mono Unsafe versions
