Unicode on AmigaOS3.1
 
I spent a few evenings tinkering Topaz 8 to unicode for ucode system.
For now there is Latin-1, Russian, some Greek characters, most mathematical symbols and frames (under testing ...)

and the trick to read unicode files and UTF-8

It should only work AmigaOS3.1 and up, need the ucode package and some glyphs (or thirty megabytes). Just assign ucode: where it is, and it works without changing anything more in the system.
I forgot to say that these marvels run on a 68000 :nuts (Minimig !)
So I can say today: No, the Amiga is not dead, you can even use unicode on it. :spin

No thanks, Unicode is totally unnecessary and just bloats everything.

@Minuous, tsss...
You have no idea, because you are english brained. World is not english, World is unicode, my friend. :P
