> Count the number of vowels in a String Unicode is a little more involved? I wouldn't even know where to start for the mostly trivial western European languages, and that's without leaving high bit ASCII territory. I'd probably end up making a list by hand of every possible vowel. But that's not doable for Unicode. What does it even mean for things like ideographic characters?
