Re: Why Unicode is Shit

Like all the other fucking incompetent assholes in this world,
the Unicode consortium has fucked it all up.
 Unicode only contains 32-bit (i.e. 4 byte) characters!
 Now, 32-bits is an awful lot but it's not FUTURE PROOF.
 An example is the math code pages which define all currently
used math symbols -- but what about the fucking future?
 Math is not dead.  It will grow over the next few centuries
and so will its symbols.
 What's true for math is certainly true for other areas.
 Thus Unicode, in a relatively short time, will have to scrap
its current form and devise a whole new coding.  The problem
is similar to the "Year 2000" or "Year 2038" issues but will
be much more difficult to resolve.
 They should have started with a 64-bit, or even 128-bit,
encoding.  So what if there are vast empty blocks.  That
space is reserved for the future.
 Unicode should be a project for millennia and not for the
lifetime of the short-sighted assholes who first introduced
it.
 Note: In this, as with everything else, GNU/Linux/FOSS will
lead the way.  We need universal and open standards and not
protectionism for grubbing private corps.
