Some quick feedback. >Modern operating systems support Unicode: This is in a funny order, in the middle of a section about fonts, without even a header to set it off. >Unicode: the operating system or browser has fonts Should mention that many programs will using 'fallback' mechanisms; where a font doesn't have all the glyphs, it will switch fonts. >Page weight / download cost is not really an issue: given that a large proportion of a web page is HTML mark-up, where characters remain 1 byte, Give example page & sizes in legacy & Unicode. >Characters that do not fall into the ASCII range, such as Chinese, Arabic, Russian, may use 2 or even 3 bytes. Chinese encodings already use more than 1 byte per character with legacy encodings, where they use double bytes. Treat CJK in separate bullet >rather than with a legacy encoding where the source text is not readable and uses different characters to point to code points. ? >Server side applications Server-side applications [Otherwise it is a side application that has to do with servers] Suggest passing this by the UTC (unicode@unicode.org) for feedback.
