Well, JavaScript is notably UTF-16.  Given that the Web, Java and .NET
(i.e. all the most important platforms) are all UTF-16 it's likely to
be with us for quite a while, so it's important to understand.

But yeah, there's no way POSIX/GNOME etc. could switch even if it made
sense to do so (which it clearly doesn't).
