@lambda123 time to go utf-128 even though we don't need to write all the accents in one character, lol.

@lambda123 not really.
ASCII chars don't take up the full 4 bytes.
UTF-8 - Only chars from a higher plane need more than 1 byte.
UTF-16 - 2 byte.
UTF-32 always 4 byte, no matter what character. -
neriald14044y@IntrusionCM good to know. Yet there are 2 letters missing so utf-16 2bytes each would make 4 bytes in total. So I don’t get why you said “not really”? -
@neriald math isn't my forte.
:)
Was in my head at UTF-8, UTF-16 is - except for internal usage in programming languages and Windoof - pretty uncommon nowadays.

Of course, the variable for fields should be called "flds", those 2 bytes saved will help us so much! For a small price of this shit being not really readable anymore. Is it "floods"? "fleeds"?
