Day
7 in the ongoing Perl 6 advent calendar is concerned with how the
language handles Unicode. "However, Perl 6 does this work for you,
keeping track of these collections of codepoints internally, so that you
just have to think in terms of what you would see the characters as. If
you’ve ever had to dance around with substring operations to make sure you
didn’t split between a letter and a diacritic, this will be your happiest
day in programming."
