Title Body

Almost 5 years ago Joel Spolsky wrote this article, "The Absolute Minimum Every Software Developer Absolutely, Positively Must Know About Unicode and Character Sets (No Excuses!)" . Like many, I read it carefully, realizing it was high-time I got to grips with this "replacement for ASCII". Unfortunately, 5 years later I feel I have slipped back into a few bad habits in this area. Have you? I don't write many specifically international applications, however I have helped build many ASP.NET internet facing websites, so I guess that's not an excuse. So for my benefit (and I believe many others) can I get some input from people on the following: How to "get over" ASCII once and for all Fundamental guidance when working with Unicode. Recommended (recent) books and websites on Unicode (for developers). Current state of Unicode (5 years after Joels' article) Future directions. I must admit I have a .NET background and so would also be happy for information on Unicode in the .NET framework. Of course this shouldn't stop anyone with a differing background from commenting though. Update: See this related question also asked on StackOverflow previously.
