Coders care, users don't. Just like they don't care about tables used for layout.

  Users care if their name is zoe (with an accent on the e), or if they want to discuss prices of things in euros or GBP. I wrote a php forum a while back. You wouldn't believe the number of emails telling me that the gbp sign doesn't show up properly when they post a comment.

  Even if the users don't care (although they very much do when their characters all show up jumbled), the conversation here in this thread _is_ very much about the coders. Saying unicode is irrelevant is pretty strong in this context and IMHO, pretty bizarre.

    Fine. My point it that it's hardly a "major deficiency" that would make arc "unusable".
    • ashu 19y ago
      I think that's a fair point - quite distinct from the original comment though.

        that's what I get for trying to be snarky.
