RFC 1815 Character Sets ISO-10646 and ISO-10646-J-1 July 1995

July 1995… Is that document up-to-date?

It was obsolete at the time of publication. RFC 1815 was a rant by someone who thought that:

(a) Unicode was fatally broken for representing Japanese because of Han unification, unlike ISO-2022-JP which by definition was used only for Japanese; and

(b) display is everything, and all characters not represented by a glyph in a Windows NT 3.51 font from 1995 ought to be excluded from interchange.

Sounds to me a lot like the present campaign.
