Well, I was curious, sort of like a passing motorist who slows down to see 
the aftermath of a collision.

The same thing happened when someone announced that TRON was going to destroy 
Unicode and take over the world.  I had to take a look, at least.

One of my favorite parts of Bytext was the section on Emoticons.  Certainly, 
one thing that a "serious competitor" to Unicode must have is "a rich set of 
emoticons as single characters."  I've always felt the UTC was badly out of 
touch with the user community by neglecting to encode TIRED-BORED FACE, QUESY 
[sic] FACE, YUKKY FACE, and DROOLING FACE.
