Needing to load three fonts to show a single document that mixes vastly different character sets is still infinitely better than not being able to have those different characters in the same .txt or .md file at all

Unicode can encode about 1100k code points, and about 800k of those are currently unassigned and available for future scripts or characters

Also, the 1.1M limit is because of UTF-16. If UTF-16 was deprecated in favor of UTF-8, the limit could be much higher.

We need UTF-32. For the future.

[xigoi]

UTF-32 already exists, but nobody uses it because it’s much less efficient for most textual data than UTF-8.
