So it seems there are problems using Unicode on all Squeak 
distributions. What is needed is a group of people who care enough about 
the problem to fix it. I'm sure that code could be shared by various 
distributions. But somebody needs to do it. So, please, people worried 
about Unicode. Stand up, and volunteer. Make a team. Understand and fix 
the problem.
