> Whenever somebody talks about needing 31 bits for Unicode, I always think of the hypothetical situation of discovering some extraterrestrial civilization and trying to add all of their writing systems to Unicode. I imagine there would be little to unify outside of U+002E FULL STOP.
Oh, I imagine they'll have one or two turtle ideographs. :-)
Seriously, though, if and when we run into ETs with all their myriad writing systems, I really don't think that we'll be Unicode to represent them.
