In case you enjoy the technical pedantry: UTF-8 is "just" an encoding scheme to represent the characters defined in the Unicode standard. There are other schemes in the standard (like UTF-16 or UCS-4).

Your issue here is with the characters and their representation, not with the specific encoding. Hence, what you wanted to say is: "Unicode is weird" ;)




This is the most nicely delivered pedantry I've ever read, kudos!
