"Big tech warns of 'Japan's millennium bug' ahead of Akihito's abdication" https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/jul/25/big-tech-warns-japan-mill...
Fascinating. From the article: | Unicode [can't] set the standard for that new character [...] until | it knows what it's called, and it won't know that until late February | at best. Unfortunately, version 12 of Unicode is due to come out | in early March... Sounds like the problems encountered by some other people I know, trying madly to release their updates in time for the results of last-minute time-related political decisions... :-)
