:Unicode is subject to endianism.

could anyone please explain what "endianism" is?

:Unicode employs floating diacritics for scripts which do not separate
:the diacritic and the character to which it applies.

most people in favor of iso 10646 attack floating diacritics.  how do
floating diacritics and non-spacing characters (which i believe iso 10646
adopts) differ?  from end-users' point of view, these two seem one and
the same.  am i missing something?
