(Editing support is mostly orthogonal to the internal representation.)
* SINGLE_BYTE_CHAR_P returns true for Latin-1 characters, which has

+ (multibyte-string-p (concat [?£])) => nil

* Rationalize character syntax and its relationship to the Unicode

- common characters (and obviously have redundancies except in
- unibyte mode).

* Fontset handling and customization needs work. We want to relate
fonts to scripts, probably based on the Unicode blocks. The
* What to do with the old coding categories stuff?
- * Syntax for symbols &c in characters.el needs looking at.
-
* The preferred-coding-system property of charsets should probably be
junked unless it can be made more useful now.
- * find-coding-systems-for-charsets needs re-writing or removing.

* find-multibyte-characters needs looking at.

charsets.

+ * Check up on definition of alternativnj.
* Lazy-load tables for unify-charset somehow?
* Need multibyte text in menus, e.g. for the above. (Not specific to
Unicode.)
- * Still can't have case pairs which have different byte lengths --
- can that be fixed for Turkish, at least?
-
* There's currently no support for Unicode normalization.
* Populate char-width-table correctly for Unicode chanaracters and
