i'm just waiting for 32-bit bytes. and white bytes are 8-bit,
i'll use
ebcdic^w one of available one-byte encodings. ;-)
That sounds so much better than UTF-32.
btw: are there fonts that can display all unicode?
i doubt it (ok, maybe one).
Fonts are encoding agnostic, your point is irrelevant.
so we designed the thing that can't really use. ;-)
We can and do: unicode is the only thing that could process text
that could come from any client on earth, without choking on any
character. This is all done without the need for font-display,
which is on the burden of the final client, and their respective
local needs.
