This week is the first week of the new academic year at my university. One of the modules I co-teach is entitled "Programming for the WWW" which encompasses JavaScript and DHTML. This is a first year module. There were approx 70 students in the lab practical this morning. I asked them my annual questions.
Q. Who has heard of Unicode? A. Approx 20% of the class raised their hands. (Same as last year http://www.unicode.org/mail-arch/unicode-ml/y2015-m12/0073.html) Q. Who understands Unicode? A. One student raised his hand. (This is an improvement on last year as no hand was raised last year) André Schappo
