I'm happy to discriminate against those damn ancient Sumerians and anyone still using goddamn Linear B. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Sure, but removing those wouldn't make Unicode any simpler, they're just character sets. The GP is complaining about things like combining characters and diacritic modifiers, which make Unicode "ugly" but are necessary if you want to represent real languages used by billions of people. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

People who should use Sumerian characters don't even use them, sadly. First probably because of habit with their transcription, but also because missing variants of characters mean lot of text couldn't be accurately represented. Also I'm downvoting you for discriminating me. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
