Kllhk!! Kllhk!! Kllhk! Whoa! Almost choked on my tofu burger!

Oh dewd, you have it so, like, all wrong... Universal character encoding
isn't about Competition and Marketing, it's about everybody doin' it in the
road, all together like, in love, peace, and harmony.

One of the major, major take-home points is the "U" word in "universal
character encoding". There's only supposed to be one of them, otherwise,
sorry to say, it's just as bloody pointless as saddlin' a herd of cats to
cart your horse to the flea market.

Please, get a grip.
