Some months ago I experimented with using Unicode on my coding. I was
very excited about it. At the end, the experience showed without a doubt
that it is a bad idea. One of the reasons is very familiar to us: a
funtamental feature of a programmer's font is how clearly it
distinguishes 1 from l, 0 from O. Using Unicode makes this problem
explode.

Precisely, my experience is that Unicode makes things much harder to
read, and not ony because the problem mentioned above.
