Hi,
Most source Texts and source texts which originated at ETHZ begin with
a line similar to this. (* ETH Oberon, Copyright 2001 ETH Zuerich ...
I've seen at least three representations of "Latin Small Letter U with
diaeresis", as Unicode describes it.
(1) "ue" which Europeans might consider a kludge.
(2) "ü" which a hexadecimal editor displays as FC. According to
Wikipedia, this is from the "C1 Controls and Latin-1 Supplement" of
Unicode.
(3) "ü" which a hexadecimal editor displays as C3 BC. A Microsoft
encoding?
(4) "&#uuml;" the character entity reference of Unicode.
How do Europeans prefer to see the accented characters represented in
an Oberon Text and in an ASCII text for a source of an Oberon system?
Thanks, ... P.L.
