Re: [omnetpp] utf8 coding in .ned files

["Andras Varga" <andras at xxx>]

Hi,

If you use UTF-8 NED files without the BOM mark (EF BB BF), it should work
already in 3.x -- provided that international chars are only used within
comments. Identifiers (module names, parameter and gate names, etc) should
be in ASCII. 

I just committed a change into 4.0 to accept the BOM. I'd still restrict
identifiers to ASCII (a-zA-Z0-9_) as it is in C++. 

The 4.0 IDE already supports UTF-8 (displays international chars correctly,
etc)

Regards,
Andras
