i wasn't making any statements about particular languages,
or even endorsing supporting a subset.
but consider, file names in plan 9 support a subset of unicode.
they may not contain the codepoints u+00002f (/) or u+000000.
otherwise, a directory could contain the file entry "a/b" or "a/b\0c"
which could lead to confusion. many file servers expand
the frogs list to include codepoints < or ≤ u+00020 (space)
to prevent accidents.
