Unless you refer to the CNS plane and Japanese Han characters, which were deliberately left ununified (in addition to the Unicode codepoints for those characters), I think you are mistaken. Could you please point out where in the proposal do you see that a character can be encoded in multiple ways? - Linux-UTF8: i18n of Linux on all levels Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/
