  Reminds me of something I came across many years ago: One URL-shortening website attempted to be Twitter-friendly by using Unicode characters in its URLs in addition to the basic ASCII set. More possible characters = more possible combinations = fewer characters required in each URL. Simple, right?

  
  

  As it turned out, a number of third-party Twitter clients at the time weren't actually counting 140 characters, but 140 bytes, under the naive assumption that one character always equals one byte. So some of these fancy characters, when pasted into said clients, were counting as two or three "characters" despite appearing as only one.

  Yeah, things like that are unfortunately still pretty common. English-speaking developers don't bother to test their software with non-English input.
