It's terrible, and we IMHO owe that to some introductory university courses to Java (plus some Win32 veterans). I got very close to being rejected by a professor that was obstinately convinced that Unicode "characters" were 2 bytes because it drunk the Kool Aid in the '90s about Java's `char` type representing a Unicode character. Ugh. I still get angry by thinking back at that sometimes
