I read this back when it came out; and while it makes some good points, ASCII is still king in the embedded world. Unicode overhead is often not at all necessary, and undesirable, in that realm. Just sayin'. Things are changing, but slowly (i.e. many embedded systems now run some form of Linux under the hood, and have plenty of power to spare for Unicode support).
