ME> Fix TeX. It needs to grow up and use the UCS properly.
TeX cannot be changed. TeX monotonically converges towards $\pi$, and
until the Congress of the United States pass a bill to the effect that
$\pi>4$[1], a new major version of TeX is impossible.
A variant of TeX that internally uses (a subset of) UCS-2 has been
written, though. It is called `Omega,' and was written by Yannis
Haralambous. Available from CTAN; more information can be found on

(By the way, Markus, what do you know about work to make Emacs
Unicode-based? I would love to switch to a Unicode-based Emacs (the
FSF version, not XEmacs).)
