Of this I have no doubt -- but this was true of Klingon, also. <g>
I was expressing doubt that the majority of the community are:
1) truly unhappy with their current fonts, and
2) eagerly awaiting encoding so that they can use supplementary character
fonts, and
3) will upgrade software as needed to accomplish #2
And then of course seeing folks provide means for conversion from their
current "code pages" to Unicode seems pretty far off, too.... would ICU
really provide it? Would Microsoft? Would Apple? Will Oracle have a legacy
database encoding for it?
Maybe someone can provide evidence that my [low key] concern is unfounded?
