Long answer: ASCII was defined in 1963 and hasn't won over yet, e.g. EBCDIC is alive and kicking: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EBCDIC . Ergo, 50 years isn't enough for a character encoding to become truly pervasive. I suggest we wait and see whether 100 years makes a difference, which in the case of Unicode means: let's talk again closer to 22th century.
