About my addition: Yep, it's often tricky, and that's why I said "extra credit". The thing is, if you ''don't'' do it, you get nonsense from certain Unicode strings; this will become increasingly relevant as the world drifts away from the habits of ASCII-and-a-few-extras. So I added this to spread a little Unicode-handling-awareness (though this isn't even complete: there are also e.g. bidirectional formatting markers, which need even more complicated handling). And that's why I think it shouldn't be a separate task: it's not a ''different problem'', it's ''more correctness'' (unless the string you're reversing is not really text, in which case you're looking for [[Binary_string_manipulation_functions|binary]] tasks). --[[User:Kevin Reid|Kevin Reid]] 12:03, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
:I am so relieved ''not'' to have to delve any further into Unicode. Whilst doing my background reading, I could not help but think that the margins were littered with little arrows and in much smaller text <small>Here be Dragons</small>. :-) --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 16:35, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
