Re: C++ Developer Survey questions for 2023

I'd also like to know:

1) How often do you use multiple text encodings in the same program?
2) How often do you use multiple text encodings in the same program,
where at least one of them is not ASCII, and non-Unicode?
3) How often do you use multiple Unicode normalization forms in the
same program?
4) How often do you need Unicode collation-aware (non-regex) search in
your code?
5) How often do you need Unicode collation-aware regex search in your code?

Possible answers should include "Never" and "WTF is that?" (or its equivalent).

He let me know that suggestions can be submitted to him at any time. So, I'd like to solicit Unicode related questions that would help us get some data regarding what people are doing in the wild. What would you like to know?
