I still think we're doing pretty good.

At least, we *handle* unicode at all (looking at you C++). And we 
handle *true* unicode, not BMP style UCS (looking at you 
Java/C#), with the options of storing said strings in any 
encoding: UTF8 through UTF32, and the possibility to also have 
ASCII.

We don't yet totally handle things like diacritics or ligatures, 
but we are getting there.

As a whole, I find that D is incredibly "unicode correct enough" 
out of the box, and with no extra effort involved.
