The classic "we support Unicode" lie exposed in three painful acts. Sure, your app can parse UTF-8 and display emoji, but ask about combining characters or bidirectional text and suddenly everyone's looking at their shoes. It's like saying "I speak Spanish" because you can order a burrito. The true Unicode experience isn't just showing 💩 emoji – it's handling Arabic text flowing right-to-left while your English flows left-to-right without having an existential crisis. The silence after "what's that?" is the sound of technical debt being born.
