Re: Unicode in strings

Canonical simplification of the 'ø' character is either 'o' or 'oe', and
passports and airline tickets differ, something which can cause all

Reminds me of either "Asterix and the Great Crossing" or "Asterix
and the Normans", where Viking speach was indicated by having
slashes through letters (like ø).  When Obelix tries to speak
their language, he also applies slashes, but does so randomly
(like through a c) so nobody can understand him.

Hmm... a challenge, can this be represented as Unicode codepoints?
I would not be surprised if some Asterix fan had snuck it in while
nobody was looking.

(For those who don't know Asterix: It is a comic that was/is wildly
popular in France and Germany at least, about Gauls who keep on
resisting Roman occupation in the times of Julius Caesar, aided
by a magic potion which gives them superhuman strength.)
