The hastingsresearch unicode page [http://www.hastingsresearch.com/net/04-unicode-limitations.shtml] misrepresents the issues a lot. There's a rebuttal [http://slashdot.org/features/01/06/06/0132203.shtml]. The article should be adjusted to remove the anti-Unicode bias which is wholly without basis. -- [[User:130.233.18.89|130.233.18.89]] 03:41, 13 Mar 2004 (UTC)
:The rebuttal comes from a member of Unicode standard committee. How can we expect a fairness from such a person? Anyway, this page might help us.

:Also, I am going to merge those confusion and controversy into unicode article. It doesn't say controversay of unicode much. I believe unicode issues are political and cultural things not technical. As a programmer, I don't think Unicode is worse than Shift-JIS. But none of encode scheme is good by nature anyway. -- [[User:TakuyaMurata|Taku]] 04:47, Mar 13, 2004 (UTC)
::Ignore the above, the hastingsresearch page and rebuttal are referenced in [[Han unification]] where they are clearly more appropriate as well. Anyway, I modified the article a little based on input from a native, for example the scarcity of kana input. I also put gaiji back because it's relevant with JIS, and frankly the paragraph made no sense previously. Indeed, gaiji is not as frequently used with Unicode because Unicode contains over 70,000 Han characters where JIS only contains approximately 8,000. -- [[User:130.233.18.89|130.233.18.89]] 00:39, 15 Mar 2004 (UTC)
