Line 21:
The 510k estimate was based on 8 bytes per character, and I made the calculation based on a 65535 character Unicode page and allowed for 96 characters that are already in ROM. This was (8 bytes x (65536-96) characters) / 1024. [[User:Markhobley|Markhobley]] 21:41, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
== New task description ==
I think we can cut the introduction.
"As the world gets smaller each day, internationalization becomes more and more important." - This is not about Unicode, and nothing to do with the task.
"For handling multiple languages. Unicode is your best friend. It is a very capable tool." - This is sales pitch... we don't need that either: It is nothing to do with the task.
"but also quite complex compared to older single- and double-byte character encodings." - pros and cons, again nothing to do with the task.
"How well prepared is your programming language for Unicode?" - Ok, now that we can use. - Lets add it to the topic list.
Discuss and demonstrate its Unicode awareness and capabilities. Some suggested topics:
We might want to give indication as to what Unicode is, (rather than saying it is our "best friend", link the word Unicode to the wikipedia article).
FWIW, Unicode can also be our [http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Talk:Unicode_variable_names worst enemy], so I would not agree with "best friend" as being an adequate description.
