		<description><![CDATA[The Unicode Consortium announced the release of Unicode 6.1.0 yesterday. The new version adds characters for additional languages in China, other Asian countries and Africa. This version of the standard introduces 732 new characters. In addition, the standard also added &#8220;labels&#8221; for character properties that will supposedly help implementers create better regular expressions that are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am sometimes asked whether Unicode is a 16-bit character set. The answer is not a simple no, but it is no. The question always reminds me how important terminology is too. Terminology is the focus of this particular post. At one point long ago, when Unicode was a relative newcomer to the character set [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The other day I suggested that you use UTF-8 to encode your Java source code files. I still think that&#8217;s a best practice. If you can do that, you owe it to yourself to follow that advice. But what if you can&#8217;t store text as UTF-8? Perhaps your repository won&#8217;t allow it. Or maybe you [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s not uncommon to have programmers in multiple countries, maybe a team in Belarus and others in Japan and in the U.S. Each of these teams most likely speaks different languages, and most likely their host systems use different character encodings by default.

That&#8217;s probably the best; the article was a rehash of an older subject that I already presented long ago. I refreshed the original article and thought I could recycle it.
