Why does Unicode.org no longer offer a reference UTF-8/16/32 converter?
- by Steve Hanov
A reference converter from UTF-8/16/32 in C used to be available at ftp://ftp.unicode.org/Public/PROGRAMS/CVTUTF/. This included the files ConvertUTF.h and ConvertUTF.c.
It was freely available and is incorporated into numerous open source projects. But now it's gone! What's the story? Can is still be legally used? Was there a problem with it?
