There are also a number of scripts which don't have any registered
encoding or code-page except Unicode / ISO-10646 - for users of those
scripts, whether or not they want to mix characters from other
scripts, Unicode / UTF-8 is the only real choice (unless they want to
use some non-standard font based encoding).
However, since many of these scripts are also complex scripts,
clients need to be able to render them properly to be of much use
with these scripts.
