Really? I would have thought that cell phones have long been the platforms most supportive of Unicode. IIRC Nokia's Python port to S60 *required* Unicode strings for all system interfaces. Android, using Java, also is pretty much all Unicode inside. Am I naive to generalize from these two examples?
