Raku programs and strings are all in Unicode and operate at a grapheme abstraction level, which is agnostic to underlying encodings or normalizations. (These are generally handled at program boundaries.) Opened files default to UTF-8 encoding. All Unicode character properties are in play, so any appropriate characters may be used as parts of identifiers, whitespace, or user-defined operators. For instance:

Line 1,232 ⟶ 1,233:
* Provides built-in routines to access character names, do name-to-character character-to-ordinal and ordinal-to-character conversions.
* Works seamlessly with upper plane and private use plane character codepoints.
* Provides tools to deal with strings that contain invalid Unicode
In general, it tries to make dealing with Unicode "just work".
