Yes Ive read that and understood a little bit more thanks to it. But for the points raised in this thread this one from Joel is more relevant: http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/LeakyAbstractions.html Some evidences of leakiness: code point vs character vs byte encoding and decoding UTF-x and UCS-y Very important and necessary distinctions? Maybe... But I did not need them when my world was built of the 127 bricks of ASCII. My latest brush with unicode was when I tried to port construct to python3. http://construct.wikispaces.com/ If unicode 'just works' you should be able to do it in a jiffy?
