Re^5: How to sanely handle unicode in perl?

[soonix]

I think you misparsed that sentence

“Code that assumes Unicode gives a fig about POSIX locales is broken.”

This is not

(Code that assumes Unicode)
 gives a fig about POSIX locales is broken.

but

Code that assumes
   (Unicode gives a fig about POSIX locales)
   is broken.

Update: perhaps I should point out that we seem to share the same native language
