I have a suggestion for this "fictionous guy": let's meet together to

Freedom of choice doesn't mean forgetting responsibility!

When you make the choice to keep without Unicode, you take the
responsibility of beeing incompatible with more and more people everyday...

I would be like choosing to continue to use the Nôm scripting hence
every other Vietnamese people are using the modern Vietnamese
"roman-compatible" script. You may laugh at my comparison, but try to
take a trip in 20 years future and think about people still not using
Unicode at this time...
