[Cuis-dev] UTF-8 Unicode editors

[Andres Valloud]

You will have to enforce that selectors are normalized (i.e. no emitting 
multiple code points to compose a character that could be represented 
with just one code point).

Also, FYI there is a software project somewhere that has a file with a 
name that looks like "ctalin", but unfortunately that 'c' is a cyrillic 
's' that looks indistinguishable from a 'c'.  Most annoying.  But look 
at how the general inability of fonts to display humanly distinguishable 
glyphs for the >1m code points already assigned leads to this kind of 
problem.
