Yep.
The problem is that a "normal" programmer (especially a beginner) does
not know (and does not want to know, and IMHO should not be forced to
know), that (s)he is a "Unicode User".
A good programming system should hide this "deeply technical stuff" as
far as possible. Otherwise we can go back to ASM programming.
