As long as you handle usual letters it is no problem to miss Unicode.
How nice Unicode is I always realize when I copy and paste some foreign text from somewhere into Emacs or Racket Scheme and everything works just fine.

If you want to paste Unicode characters into a string and print it later, Lua can handle it. If you want to do a pattern match on a Unicode string, you need to bring your own pattern matcher.
