Unicode is a garbage standard that breaks apart so easily. That's why people hate ideas like yours. You're right in an ideal world but not in this baseline reality with Unicode.
- adrian_b 2y agoExcept that it is much better than anything that had existed before it. The earlier handling of non-English alphabets or writing systems was horrible in MS-DOS and Windows. While there have been made some serious mistakes in the development of Unicode, its main principles were fine and it does not have any competition. Feel free to propose and implement a better standard.
