Yeah, but if it can't be expressed as unicode you are not going to be able to use it on my system.

And I am not even going to say sorry.

Which is quite consistent with being impolite.

Does this mean that you view Unicode as perfect and encompassing of all the characters currently in use in the world?

Makes no difference. You have to work with what you have. It's not like the programmer can do anything about it.

There's a difference between working with what you have, and blaming people for using the 'wrong' characters in their name. From the post I was replying to:

With comments like this, one comes off as a douche, which isn't exactly going to engender trust with potential customers/clients. Whether it's 'your' fault or not, how you deal with your potential customers/clients is what really matters.
