Oh boy, this article is 20 years old. Still relevant though so go read it if you still aren’t sure about Unicode!
I would take this with a grain of salt. None of the programming languages I have used require this level of in-depth knowledge. Certainly not modern C++.
Did you see the date on the article?
No. I can only read date in the YYYY/MM/DD format.
It’s still true that if you have a bunch of bytes and don’t know their encoding, you don’t really know what characters you have.
