"Unocode string"

Hm. I just used my browser's Find command on the entire thread and nowhere did it find the word "Unocode"; nor do I remember correcting such a typo?

no such thing as a "Unocode string"

Hm.

In the context of a computer program, a "string" is: "an array of (usually small, zero-based) integers that collectively encode the characters, digits and symbols used in written communication systems.".
Unicode is: "Unicode is a computing industry standard for the consistent encoding, representation, and handling of text expressed in most of the world's writing systems".

It'll be interesting to see what level of pedantry you have to descend to in order to come up with a justification for your refusal to accept the term 'Unicode string', for a scalar variable that contains (or rather names) an array of small integers that represent some text, encoded using (one of the) Unicode encodings?

With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". I knew I was on the right track :)

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
