Another problem with Unicode is far too many symbols for different Unicode characters are too similar looking, or even identical.

Then there are the Unicode symbols that convey semantic information rather than just the appearance. These are an abomination and should never have been put in Unicode, but here we are anyway.



Don't forget different Unicode code points for the same character, like U+4B/U+212A(/U+39A/U+41A/...).
