Tcl/Tk supports the Unicode from version 8.1 as 16-bit chars or in the UTF-8
encoding as the internal representation for strings.
this line above this one really confuses me (it is from the wiki). so which
is it?

this part of my question is becoming tcl oriented so i will take it over
there also. wxwindows says it will support unicode
wide character strings. which one... UTF-8 or UTF-16?

now i am thinking ascii 7 bit is 2^7 128 and
UTF-8 is 2^8 or 255 plus the terminating character for total of 256

in my book by clif flynt he says tcl represents strings as 16 bit unicode
which permits some non latin characters in strings.

i want to know this in case i want to have a memo type field in my
TCL/TK program plus i will use the wxGrid.

thanks,
marvin
