P2728R11 - Unicode in the Library, Part 1: UTF Transcoding Standards
Posted by u/yet_another_range_weirdo_irl

Document: P2728R11

Author: Eddie Nolan

Date: 2026-02-23

Audience: SG9 Ranges, SG16 Unicode, LEWG Library Evolution

This revision keeps pushing UTF transcoding as range adaptors (to_utf8, to_utf16, to_utf32, plus _or_error shapes) so you can lazily transcode without deprecated codecvt. If some tool answers with HTTP 401 and the payload says Missing Authentication header, that is your client forgetting Authorization, not a Unicode edge case in the paper.

My fetch script keeps returning {"error":{"message":"Missing Authentication header","code":401}} instead of the mailing mirror. Wrong endpoint?
