Re: [ADMIN] evil characters #bfef cause dump failure

[Iain]

Hi Peter,
I know that the unicode standards are far from perfect, but I'm wondering 
why you consider it a failure.

Is it technical, or just an acceptance thing?
From my personal perspective, I never had any interest in such things as 
encodings or internationlization until I started working in Japan, then I 
realized what a nightmare it is. I expect you can imagine, but most people 
(like me a year ago) couldn't. If everyone was already using unicode, I 
don't think we'd have anything to worry about.

regards
Iain

That's seems pretty reasonable, though I think that standardizing on
unicode (and I guess that means UTF-8) is really the way to go. It was
designed as the universal standard after all.
It may have been designed that way, but it is a failure in practice.
