And both Java and Javascript, an thus any language derived from from them. I'd go as far as saying that a majority of the code being written today uses UTF-16.

With these languages not even providing alternative API's that are easy to use means it'll be some time before we don't have to suffer this.
- qalmakka 5y agoI've seen a trend from those languages and APIs of hiding UTF-16 away. They have to interoperate with everything else using just UTF8, while the rest of the world doesn't give a half damn about UTF-16 (the fact you have to also take endianess into account I think was one of the biggest crippling blows 16 bit encoding had ever received)
