Re: UNICODE characters above 0x10000 - Mailing list pgsql-hackers

My apologies for not reading the code properly.

Attached patch using pg_utf_mblen() instead of an indexed table.
It now also do bounds checks.

John Hansen

Surely this is badly broken --- it will happily access data outside the
bounds of the given string.  Also, doesn't pg_mblen already know the
length rules for UTF8?  Why are you duplicating that knowledge?
