Thanks for the kind words, Phil. The article is several years old now, and while most of the information is still valid, some significant things regarding Unicode changed for the better in the LiveCode 5.x cycle. (Although someone at RunRev has added some notes to it in the meantime to reflect some of the changes.) Some day I'll make some time to update the article.
