I agree. I looked into how Plan 9 does unicode because it seems very simple, but it's not so simple under the surface: The display driver has to cache images representing ranges of characters. To quote someone who worked on Plan 9, "There's no such thing as a simple cache bug." ;) And it has bug of omission: it has no support for combining characters.
