But you can make a UNICODE build of C::B or? For what I have understood from the post Version 1.0rc2 released!, C::B supports UNICODE.

takeshimiya:
Yes anyone can, but no one is distributing builds of C::B Unicode in win32.

C::B supports Unicode means that it can be compiled in Unicode, not that it is compiled in Unicode.

Ok, so I have understood right. Thank you.

I think, dbtsai, that you should have to make a UNICODE build of C::B with wxWidgets UNICODE from Therion (or with wxWidgets UNICODE compile by yourself if you prefer).

Yes, there are disadvantages. Unicode support is not 100% finished and tested. Also, at least one third party library used in Code::Blocks does not support wide character strings (even though it apparently still works, somehow).
ANSI, on the other hand, works 100% certain and is officially supported.

No doubt, some day Code::Blocks will switch to Unicode alltogether (as that will work universally), but I dare not say when that will be.

dbtsai:
hi,

Ok, I will try to compile it by myself. If any good news, I will post it. ^_^

And in my case, the a chinese word is use two bytes in ANSI mode,
but in the C::B, when I use delete key, it will only delete one byte, half of a chinese word.
It is not correct.  Most of Chinese or Janpan program need to take this problem into consideration, and
programer need to solve it my theirself, that is why I very very very holp C::B support UTF-8.

Thanks
