My understanding was that Unicode has now escaped the base plane (or whatever

This is getting a little off-topic, I think. But here's a brief

UTF-16 isn't technically a variable-width encoding, since

What about parsing? I think the fact that Perl 6 will pretty much
have parser capabilities built in is pretty distinctive.

When someone wants to write a parser, they turn to Perl 90% of the time (at least to
prototype). The fact that they're really using a powerful lexer instead of a
