5.10.6. Multi-Byte Character Support
If you want to add support for a new character set that includes
multi-byte characters, you need to use the multi-byte character
functions.
The best documentation for this is the existing character sets.
Look at the euc_kr,
gb2312, gbk,
sjis, and ujis character
sets for examples. These are implemented in the
ctype-charset_name.c
files in the strings directory.
You must specify the
mbmaxlen_MYSET=N
value in the special comment at the top of the source file.
N should be set to the size in bytes
of the largest character in the set.
