		<description><![CDATA[Recently I had the opportunity to sign up for health benefits with a 3rd party site that manages these things for my employer. Sites that collect data often limit the set of characters that you must use for each field. That&#8217;s reasonable for numeric fields, date fields, etc. After all, you don&#8217;t want invalid data [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Chances are that your favorite development platform already has internationalization support built into it. And probably Unicode charset support is there too. For example, Java and .NET platforms contain lots of APIs for formatting dates, numbers, etc in locale-sensitive ways. And you can get Unicode character data easily too. Unfortunately, the Unicode standard changes periodically, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Over the years, I&#8217;ve helped many organizations internationalize their software products. One of the most common misunderstandings is how Unicode will help their product. Customers sometimes mistakenly believe that Unicode support will be sufficient to internationalize their products. Sometimes they believe that Unicode &#8220;support&#8221; is a single, yes-no, on-off ability, when instead Unicode support is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Unicode is a character set standard. This particular standard assigns a unique number to every character used around the globe, regardless of written and spoken language, computing platform, or application. Unicode includes all the characters used from other more limited character sets. Prior to Unicode, smaller character sets assigned character values differently from each other. [...]]]></description>
