Can that differentiate between the different "i" ? This is one problem which 8 bit unicode don't seem able to address ?

I have a more then a dozen bug-reports in their "bugzilla" on these issues, for several languages - and the
Turkish issue is now included.
However - the German umlauts as well as characters in Norwegian, Danish, Swedish, French, Portogese, Spanish, Italian ... has mostly been fixed for utf-8 text files.
( read earlier postings in this thread ) However, their implementation cause conflicts with dictionaries, something I hope will be corrected.
Text files are the easiest, and the hope is that these solutions will migrate to the other formats. ( some have other ways this is corrected.. ) In other words, there has been a steady progress in .txt documents.
Most formats can be converted to utf-8 text files, and in many cases the results are good. This may be done with many programs, iconv, calibre, web based applications, scripts, etc. Simple scripts may do the job as well.
But, this is of course not how it should be.
