    The “everything is UTF-8” made my cringe. No it’s not. Win32 uses UTF-16. So does JS. Those are just the ones I know off the top of my head. I will give you that a lot of plain text documents are UTF-8. Also worth pointing out that an ASCii string is a UTF-8 string

      I’m not sure if they updated the article in the 3 days since your comment, but every point you raise is discussed in the post.

      Overall, a good primer to Unicode for those unfamiliar, IMO.
