That is such a rubbish statement! More and more information is being
added outside the Unicode's BMP. Emoticons, Science and Maths symbols,
Map Symbols (often seen in GPS applications), Music notes etc etc.
What do you have in mind, what your code would do with e.g. music notes?
Would it ever try to convert these into upper case, or to substitute
parts of such strings by text???
You can get rubbish more easily, by random substitution of English words
by German or Chinese ones...
Or by parsing C code with a Pascal parser...
