A downloadable tool

TextViewU is a text viewer able to load and display text files in Unicode. To achieve this, a format of bitmap Unicode font has been designed, based on IFF container. It is accompanied by text rendering system. This way one can get (large parts) of Unicode character set on screen.

Features planned:

  • Standard, windowed AmigaOS application.
  • Support of UTF-8, UTF-16BE/LE, UTF32BE/LE with autodetection.
  • Support of some of 8-bit codepages with manual selection.
  • At least one font covering Latin with extensions, Cyryllic, Greek and other useful Unicode ranges (math symbols, arrows, geometric shapes, frames etc.)

TextViewU is in development stage, the page will be updated.

How about a Unicode datatype?

Posssible, but a standalone viewer is better for technology test/demonstration.
