What programming languages support Unicode?
More recent programming languages that were developed after around 1993 already have special data types for Unicode/ISO 10646-1 characters. This is the case with Ada95, Java, TCL, Perl, Python, C# and others. ISO C 90 specifies mechanisms to handle multi-byte encoding and wide characters. These facilities were improved with Amendment 1 to ISO C 90 in 1994 and even further improvements were made in the ISO C 99 standard. These facilities were designed originally with various East-Asian encodings in mind. They are on one side slightly more sophisticated than what would be necessary to handle UCS (handling of “shift sequences”), but also lack support for more advanced aspects of UCS (combining characters, etc.). UTF-8 is an example of what the ISO C standard calls multi-byte encoding. The type wchar_t, which in modern environments is usually a signed 32-bit integer, can be used to hold Unicode characters. Unfortunately, wchar_t was already widely used for various Asian 16-bit encodings th
