Should I be using the Unicode flag when I compile my programs? What are the advantages and disadvantages?
My program does not seem to notice when I run it either way, same amount of GIGO.

advantage is that u can use chinese letters etc. The problem with it is that old Computer do not support it and that there are 0 Bytes in normal letters and that it's twice as big as ASCII. The solution is UTF8. Letters there have different sizes. The normal letters like A etc have 1 Byte. Adavantage is that old Computers can show this letters. But on the other hand, it's slower to parse the strring.
Apart from that Mrs Lincoln, how was the show?
