ICU's pedantic form
The goal for ICU is to be charset neutral, and support all of the
conversions that are in modern use. There are a large number of
variants of character sets; you can use the one you want. See:

Ah. I take your point. If we used ICU's pedantic form
Both UNIX ~/foo and MS C:\Foo get mangled.
EXACTLY!
The other differences (having looked at diff in yudit) seems to be
mapping 「 (cent),」 (pound) ,ャ (not) and one of the longer
dashes to
different width variants (full width for ICU).
I am going off ICU ...
As I addressed to unicode(_at_)unicode(_dot_)org, Yet another problems
that
ftp://ftp.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/EASTASIA/ is now gone so I
don't
have a practical way to check the mapping. I want the mapping back!
