Okay, by this point in time, I really hope that everyone on HN that needs to know (i.e. all programmers) actually knows about Unicode and UTF-8. Finding the right libraries for the job is pretty googlable. Are all these "UTF-8 is awesome" articles really so relevant?
UTF-8 has been around since 1993 and has been widely used on the web and as standard in most decent operating systems for at least 5 years, so enough already!
