Unicode is a character encoding system that can handle all the
characters for all the languages in the world plus special characters.
It is important to those with ancestors from Slavic/Eastern European,
China, Japan, etc. These are areas which use alphabets that are not
supported currently in Legacy. It may have no impact on you but many
researchers do have ancestors whose names use these special alphabets
and who lived in areas where place names are in those alphabets.
Adding Unicode support to Legacy will greatly expand the potential user
base.

However I would be more worried about FAG. Its Ancestry and in Direct
competition with My Heritage.
I guess the test will be in the pudding, But so far you can use Legacy
as it is for as long as your Computers can run it.
If you don't like 10 than you can keep on using what you have.
I sure hope that the folks at Millennia get whats right in the way of
Jobs and Compensation, They have been a great organization since their
start.

They've been saying that for years! I'd think there are tools to

But, as the reply to the question explained, conversion will
mean a complete rewrite from the ground up.
That is a big effort and unless MyHeritage is willing to invest
the money to do that by hiring a team of programmers it will not
happen.

Well it looks like there will be interesting times ahead for
Millennia
and the software with the merger/acquisition of Millennia by
MyHeritage.
Too bad that one of the answers about Legacy 10 is that it
will not
support Unicode. I guess that means that it will still be a
Visual Basic
application.
I am beginning to think it will never be migrated to the
.net framework
and Unicode.
