Any way to convert Compound Text to utf-8? #180

Closed C-Entropy closed 3 years ago

C-Entropy commented 3 years ago

Since fcitx, a xorg client send compound text, we need to convert it to utf-8 manually. Is there any library for this?

Nope. Are you sure you can't request fcitx to send it in utf-8? the encoding for compound text itself isn't very difficult to implement, i.e. reading which encoding to switch to. It's the processing the text encodings after that. I believe babel should be the place for this but they don't want anything to do with it but will accept prs. I haven't had the time to figure out plugging into babel so nothing so far.
