| | + | ::: Whoa whoa whoa, what's this about Lua not supporting Unicode? That's '''''completely''''' unacceptable. It doesn't even make sense -- MW projects are used globally in way too many different scripts for that... |
| | + | :::* A quick search of the Lua website does find mention of a UTF-8 <-> Unicode (presumably UTF-16) converter written in Lua on [http://www.lua.org/gems/selected.html this page], suggesting that the language itself can handle Unicode. |
| | + | :::* [http://lua-users.org/wiki/LuaUnicode This page] also explains that Lua is not inherently incapable of using Unicode or UTF-8 strings. |
| | + | ::: Liliana, have you run across some MediaWiki dev list post stating that the Lua functionality added to the backend will ''not'' be Unicode- and or UTF-8-compatible? -- [[User:Eirikr|Eiríkr Útlendi]] │ <small style="position: relative; top: -3px;">''[[User talk:Eirikr|Tala við mig]]''</small> 15:44, 27 April 2012 (UTC) |
