I feel like some of the European CS programs have really neat stuff in them. I’m not sure more than a passing mention of Unicode or any of its encodings (just assume no one uses more than the first 255 code points and it’s encoded in UTF-8) was ever made in any CS class I took. I guess assembly made a little more sense 8 years ago and they only had so much class time but I wouldn’t have minded a “decide utf-8” assignment. It would have been another good practice doing bit manipulation which is kind of difficult to get right in C++.
