  I'm using Win2K right now.  :-)  The Character Map tool (and the
underlying support behind it) is one of the nicest things that Microsoft
has done.  Unfortunately lots of applications can't deal with the data, so
you get lots of '???' sequences when you pass data around between
applications.  This is actually a good example of the kind of boundary
problem that IDN poses.

  Windows-based OSes have very different semantics from POSIX-like and
other Unix-y systems.

  My implied question really was really about the POSIX/*nix stuff.
