After reading this, I did a search for mentions of this article and found this StackOverflow gem. The top answer basically picks up where the JoelOnSoftware article leaves off and filled in the rest of the blanks for me. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2241348/what-are-unicode... Still have more reading to do and a lot to learn but this was super informative, so thank you internet stranger. | ||

Haha, this is fantastic. > So I have an announcement to make: if you are a programmer working in 2003 and you don’t know the basics of characters, character sets, encodings, and Unicode, and I catch you, I’m going to punish you by making you peel onions for 6 months in a submarine. I swear I will. Thank you! | ||
