Since UTF-8 is a subset of UTF-16, which in turn is a subset of
UTF-32, and Unicode is future-proofed (at least, ISO learned from the
mess created in the 1950s to 1960s) so that new glyphs won't ever
collide with existing glyphs, my point still stands. ;)

Though the folk I have met,
(Ah, how soon!) they forget
When I've moved on to some other place,
There may be one or two,
When I've played and passed through,
Who'll remember my song or my face.
