Description: Paper by Bell Labs researchers Rob Pike and Ken Thompson explaining how they used UTF-8 to make Plan 9 the first operating system with Unicode support.
Hello World or Καλημέρα κόσμε or こんにちは 世界 Plan 9 from Bell Labs has recently been converted from ASCII to an ASCII-compatible variant of the Unicode Standard, a 16-bit character set. In this paper we explain the reasons for the change, describe the character set and representation we chose, and present the programming models and software changes that support the new text format. Although we stopped short of full internationalization—for example, system error messages are in Unixese, not Japanese—we believe Plan 9 is the first system to treat the representation of all major languages on a uniform, equal footing throughout all its software.
