Unicode is not a single standard, but a bunch of overlapping standards and recommendations. (J itself also has a variety of standards and expectations, typically representing refinements of ideas used elsewhere.) Anyways, it doesn't fit the design of Unicode for the core language to implement all of the unicode standards. It's perfectly alright to have library code implement errors, if that makes the underlying implementation simpler. For example. And, if someone sees enough need to implement those errors, of course. Or have I overlooked something important?
