Hello,

 

A colleague put me on to Plan9, some of whose online documentation I have read with interest, in particular the "Hello World" discussion as it relates to Unicode/UTF-8.

 

I'm one of the authors of the Cuneiform proposal now encoded under Unicode (see block U+12000), and I'm interesting in lex/yacc-like parsing of Unicode input to produce (among other things) Cuneiform output.

 

I realize some of the documentation was written long ago... so I'm unclear as to whether or not (or how easily) Plan9 (and specifically its lex/yacc software, etc.) handles such things? (this sparked by the references to four hex digits etc.)

 

Many thanks if you can point me in the right direction :) (or to an alternative solution, if need be!)

 

Best

 

K
