I will, but not yet. I've a few books on parsing and compilers to read before that. I just read http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/Unicode.html, though, and I'm a bit disappointed that char 7 (\u007) does not make my computer beep. I remember now having my computer beep on char 7 during the 80s when ASCII was the only thing that existed.
