@gargron Either way, I don't think there would be a problem for !GNUsocial with remote #Unicode (non-ASCII) characters. Nicknames are normalised as-is (for example removal of underscores which was another discussion). I don't remember if transliteration of nicknames is done, but we do that for #håshtägs (which has also sparked controversy due to incompatibility with farsi).
My desire is to implement unicode support for nicknames. I don't know about the best strategy for homoglyph attacks etc, but I bet the !xmpp community has lots to share there. There you can have at least a large set of Unicode in your user part of the XMPP ID. Maybe #Prosody developer @zash knows more about unicode in XMPP usernames etc?

@archaeme A lot of older software incorrectly or incompletely implemented #unicode. And I still see the charsets Windows-1252 or Latin-1 / Latin-15 in most office suite documents.
I'd like to see some "we made a mistake, and we're willing to break backwards compatibility to fix it" posts on corporate software blogs. Oracle, LibreOffice / OpenOffice, Microsoft, IBM, are you all listening? -

I joked about #unicode being oppressive and imperialistic, but it actually is. Inclusion/exclusion is a political process: https://Fluffle Puffposter.club/notice/485548

Apparently, !python 3.3+ does strange stuff with #Unicode. http://goo.gl/KhRFBp

There's already been a discussion about skin colour in #Unicode. When will the discussion on gender stereotypes arise? Example from http://unicode.org/emoji/charts/emoji-candidates.html

@mk that was weird: posting the video's title in #identicurse it *disappeared* and made cursor position inaccurate; I tried anyway, and it came out OK... a new manifestation of the old #Unicode problems in identicurse.

Those #unicode errors appear always when you least expect them.
