Talk:Reverse a string

Extra Credit?

Does any example go for the extra credit Unicode combining characters? It seems to have been introduced [here] by Kevin Reid, but I am not sure that even his [E example] goes for the extra credit. --Paddy3118 04:35, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Nobody's tackled it since the requirement was introduced. It's moderately tricky too IIRC, as it gets into the whole problem of normalization of strings. —Donal Fellows 08:07, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

I've cooked up something that works for the given Unicode string in Python and I have tried to make it generic, but the more I read about Unicode, the more I know I don't know :-)     --Paddy3118 08:30, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
