Hi,

I have a good knowledge of Unicode : code points, encoding...
What I don't understand is how to manage Unicode strings with Ada. I've 
read part of ARM and did some tests without success.

I managed to be partly successful with source code encoded in Latin-1. 
Any other encoding failed.
Any way to use source code encoded in UTF-8 ?
In some languages, it is possible to set a tag at the beginning of the 
source file to direct the compiler which encoding to use.
I wasn't successful using -gnatW8 switch. But maybe I made to many tests 
and my brain was scrambled.

Even with source code encoded in Latin-1, I've not been able to manage 
Unicode strings correctly.

What's the way to manage Unicode correctly ?

Regards,
Nicolas
