I mentioned earlier that I've submitted a draft SRFI about changes and extensions to R5RS to make Scheme extended-character-set-friendly (Unicode-friendly in particular). I've drafted two additional proposals for: ~ Specifications for what happens if Unicode codepoints are, indeed representable as CHAR? values. ~ Specifications for identifier syntax and meaning if identifiers can be written using non-ASCII, Unicode characters. These can be found at: http://regexps.srparish.net/srfi-drafts/INDEX.html which contains: * "Permitting and Supporting Extended Character Sets": basic changes needed to R5RS to make Unicode-based Schemes practical and conformant. * "Scheme Characters as (Extended) Unicode Codepoints": Defining the CHAR? type to be a superset of Unicode codepoints. * "Unicode Identifiers": Internationalizing the Scheme Programming Language. Note: "Unicode Identifiers" is the roughest of the three documents and I'm certain I could use some help with it. It also contains some other string-related documents which aren't Unicode-specific but which do make proposals that would interact with both Unicode characters and strings and FFIs. -t
