== Unicode support ==
 
Most modern languages support Unicode in some form, usually UTF-16. However, none of the example code in any of these languages seems to work correctly with characters above the Basic Multilingual Plane. Why is that? Did the requirement to support all Unicode code points come after the examples were written?
