Good read!  Thank you for mentioning it.

A really standout paragraph from that link is:

"IMO, the whole situation is a shame. Unicode should be=20
in the stdlib of every language by default. It=E2=80=99s the lingua=20
franca of the internet! It=E2=80=99s not even new: we=E2=80=99ve been =
living=20
with Unicode for 20 years now."

I'll just leave that right here. :-)
