I have to confess that I am a convert to the UTF-8 religion as preached in the UTF-8 Everywhere[^] manifesto. So much so that I've written a series of articles[^] on CP about using UTF-8 in Windows (you can find the whole series here[^]).

Some of your assertions are open to interpretations:
Quote:
So you cannot deduce the number of print positions from the length of the UTF-16 string - not even after considering control characters.
Why would that be interesting from a programming point of view? From a typographical point of view, sure, but as programmers we don't usually concern ourselves with such minutia Smile | :)

The subject of emojis is another pet peeve of mine so allow me a bit of a roundabout. Some evolutionary solutions have been reinvented many times: flight has been reinvented by insects, birds, mammals, you name it. However there are some crucial points in evolution that happened only once. Photosynthesis or eukaryotic cells are prime examples but so is alphabetic writing. Moving from pictographic writing, where a symbol represented a whole word, to one where a symbol represented a sound, was a magnificent achievement of the human spirit that opened the path to what we now call the Western civilization. Now, if you buy at least some of my arguments, you can see how disappointed I am when this whole evolutionary path is turned back by the spread of emojis. No longer we need the magic words of a Shakespearean sonnet when we can just put a heart and a smiley face. Bleah!
