i took a different lessons.  

0.  uncode support isn't binary.  one might reasonably support a subset.
(i wonder if they'd let me have “0021bf upwards harpoon with barb leftwards”
as a user name?  would it serve any business purpose?)

1.  it's important to write down what the requirements really are especially
when relying on external code to get it done.  better yet, have the code check the
requirements are met.
