You can SMS in Unicode, but it's UCS-2 (aka UTF-16 without surrogate pairs), so your 160-character limit is reduced to 70 characters (not 80 because non-Unicode SMS is truly 7-bit). > (I am matching your ironic tone but am making an equally serious point > to yours -- truly, isn't /that/ the moral of your story? Regardless of > what position R7RS takes on case sensitivity?) My main moral (aside from the obvious moral "Don't overreact" and the more subtle moral "Pay attention to vowel harmony") is "What is a trivial detail to one is a matter of life and death to another." My meta-moral is "Put the (technical) details in parentheses." -- In my last lifetime, John Cowan I believed in reincarnation; http://www.ccil.org/~cowan in this lifetime, [email protected] I don't. --Thiagi _______________________________________________ r6rs-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.r6rs.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/r6rs-discuss
