--- Comment #11 from tcanabrava at kde.org ---
This thread is now under Community Working Group supervision.

(1) All strings should be sanitised, so that they will be perfectly safe, and
will not break anything.

You clearly are ignoring the issues pointed out by Egmond, sanitization has
nothing to do with this.

(2) It is racist to suggest that all non-English people are Chinese (or
Japanese or Korean). 

Please take a look at the KDE Code of Conduct, we will not tolerate accusations
of racism on what as meat to be an explanation based on a example. if there is
more than CJK that uses more bytes per enconding, is irrelevant.

Most scripts in the world are given only 3 byte encodings per character in
UTF-8, and not a code point per spoken word, as you say. That is a lie.

(3) The world has still not settled on UTF-16. But modern languages and
platforms tend to do so. Java, Dotnet, ICU, KDE, QT, Windows NT, JavaScript,
Dart, Flutter...
In today's world, support for both the modern UTF-16 and the legacy UTF-8 is
needed.

Patches welcome, I won't spend time working on this untill the *base software*
(bash, zsh, etc) supports it.
