Maybe it's not very demanding for English language users, but it's the
most demanding character encoding in the world I know of when used as
Japanese encoding.

I was referring to the fact that it's not demanding upon computer
resources.

With regards to Japanese encoding, Japanese is one of the most difficult
languages. However, other languages like ไทย (Thai), a complex language;
देवनागरी (Devanagari), an alphasyllabary script; ქართული ენა (Georgian), or
other alphabets with accents and diacritics can also be difficult. It is
remarkable that we can depict them all in a single encoding system. It is
not surprising that such a challenge is demanding - however, the reward is
more than commensurate with the degree of difficulty.

Here's a mystery (to me). You sent this in UTF-8, I have my newsreader set to UTF-8, yet I see ?????? instead of proper squiggles.
