Agreed.
But so does teaching people that it's OK to us
Ø I think any training in non-Unicode character sets is beyond a standard
curriculum, except perhaps History of Computing or Digital Archaeology :)
One could only hope.

If someone “needs” to not use UTF-16 for whatever reason, then they should use

Is there a difference between HENTAIGANA LETTER E-1 in L2/15-343 and
