And it is annoying to boot.
Unless your intended audience needs it, why waste the time? There is only so much time to develop features/content. Why drive up development time with something you do not "need"?
Unicode, great idea, poor implementation. Needing six bytes per character can be a horrendous burden in some environments. And let us be honest, some languages do NOT lend themselves to computer usage. All(?) of the pictograph languages (not alphabets) fall into this category. For this reason, there really is not a lot of support among some large Asian countries (China, Korea and Thailand) for Unicode and Japan is strongly opposed to it. And let us not forget, the use of fonts and Unicode is not compatible. You just lot control of one aspect of HTML (ok, so there are issues of whether your audience actually has the font you are specifying installed).
And I would tell you what to do with the ego comment. But, it is not FYOS safe.
