that seems wrong. I've had a similar sentiment https://twitter.com/wycats/status/14149373552 … but you can do unicode well or poorly

I mean, there are two kinds of unicode critique. One informed, one uninformed.
-
You get some folks complaining about problems that are a constant of dealing with international text.
-
And you also have nuanced critique of the exact encoding system used or how it fits in with everything else.
-
right, but the original tweet tarred both with one brush. For context: http://yehudakatz.com/2010/05/17/encodings-unabridged/ …
-
I was reacting to Zed Shaw’s troll. We have to go beyond “we don’t need no unicode” to get to “let’s do unicode right”.
-
Also I suspect using utf-8 internally would be better, but that implementation detail only affects performance.

If I’m still missing something major I’d love a link so I can educate myself :-)
