(not mangling unicode is not extra credit)
Line 31:
 
"Handling multibyte encodings" is '''NOT''' part of my extra credit; I assume it (where applicable) to be part of the basic task. If your string reversing mangles non-ASCII characters then I would consider it just incorrect to start with. --[[User:Kevin Reid|Kevin Reid]] 14:16, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 
:Woa. Normally when handling text ASCII is assumed and unicode must be asked for. The 'normal credit' task does not mention unicode, and so answers assuming ASCII are correct. In your extra credit extension, you give characters that need unicode and so to get this extra credit, unicode handling is required. I don't think you should now force the 'normal credit' task to require unicode. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 22:29, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
