Unicode strings is a draft programming task. It is not yet considered ready to be promoted as a complete task, for reasons that should be found in its talk page.

Task

Demonstrate how one is expected to handle Unicode strings. Some example considerations: can a Unicode string be directly written in the source code? How does one do IO with unicode strings? Can these strings be manipulated easily? Can non-ASCII characters be used for keywords/identifiers/etc? What encodings (UTF-8, UTF-16, etc) can your language accept without much trouble?
