    Interestingly, there is a Japanese morse language that conflicts with
    these allocation:

    http://www5b.biglobe.ne.jp/~a1c/CW_J.htm (SJIS encoded)

    Perhaps it would be useful to have a morse language selection
    indicator in UTF-Morse a'la the succesful ISO-2022-JP.

    The problem could also be defered to higher level frameworks, such as
    the flexible MIME framework:

    Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-morse+japanese

    This seems like a serious problem that could delay deployment of
    UTF-Morse.
