The composed characters in Hindi and Lao cause the problems.  I thought
several charsets in one line would be required to encode this file
(which isn't true, but can be handled using UTF-8).

The main problem with Unicode was that in the official manual, only
Chinese glyphs were printed, which extremly annoyed some Japanese people
(who, on the other hand, are used to write short Chinese citations in
Japanese text using the Japanese glyphs ;).
