> Does any programming language get Unicode right all the way?

Lisps with Unicode support seem to. This is a case where the Common Lisp standard's reluctance to mandate certain things paid off bigtime.




How does Clojure or ClojureScript do as they are built on top of JVM/CLR or JavaScript? I'm assuming that since they fall back to many of the primitives of their respective runtimes that they use their implementations.

I don't know, but what you wrote sounds right. I don't really think of them as Lisps, although they have some Lisp-like features.
