With a data table. One set of debugged code that handles surrogates,
composing characters, bidirectionality etc. coupled with a datafile that
gets upgraded with each release of Unicode. How many years does it take
to implement some of these concepts? It shouldn't require
honest-to-goodness we-were't-kidding see-here's-one-defined-now characters
for developers to slap themselves on the head and start developing support
for these things.
