Whatever you may think of emoji and all the attendant baggage that comes with them doesn't really have any bearing on how great UTF-8 is.

- GekkePrutser 5y agoI have nothing against emoji. Just the combination mechanism. And yeah this problem only came later after UTF-8 was already invented. It's a smart solution also because at the time a lot of detractors of Unicode were opposed to the extra data requirements of the long form representations.
- saagarjha 5y agoThe combination mechanism is a core part of Unicode, not just a thing added to make emoji work.
