Stop using harmful software

...

Good points user. Tk is awesome though.
I'd like UTF-8 but with a charset of only the necessities, that'd be nice.

Uriel considered himself harmful.

Nah. These people were UTF-8 fanboys before emoji were even a thing. It's an invention from the Bell Labs-sphere.
They don't use any emoji or cute symbols. They have a different brand of autism.

Unicode is still harmful. The proper solution is either
1) going back to ASCII, then using HTML for fancy characters, foreign letters are not plain text just like colored ones aren't
or
2) remove RTL and everything except BMP from unicode (Arabic is saved as LTR and the text editor gets to handle conversion), then use UTF-16 like it was originally designed
or
3) fuck the japs and arabs, fit everything else (latin+cyrillic+european) into 8 bits
or
4) Big5, the white man's encoding (but with cyrillic and euro in SBCS, moving punctuation out to DBCS)

I've considered issue this a lot, because Unicode and the disgusting communists behind it makes me feel physically ill. I would rank them in order as 4>2>3>1.

What's wrong with SVN?

Way to restrict the flow of information. If there was ever a way to implement Newspeak, these ways are the way to do it.

Unicode is not harmful.
People implementing optional symbols you don't like != Harmful software or standard
