Yep. I think the migration to UNICODE is almost done in the industry. Actually, we observe a lot less cases of encoding problems than than few years ago. I think it is a probe that the industry now know better how to deal with UNICODE than ever.

To tell you the truth, ancient greeks wrote in UNICODE:

http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U1F00.pdf

but even better:

For for what it's worth, Klingons, through a sub-standard called "ConScript" write UNICODE:

People, let's _NOT_ confuse UNICODE as the reference table of all characters humanely comprehensible, and the ENCODINGS as their representation as a sequence of bytes.
