Not allowing unicode *at all* would be a mistake, given that gives a
good solution to handle so many languages, even if considering just the
ones revolving around the latin alphabet! One could perhaps talk about
limiting emoji usage, and then there's overuse of glyphs other than
emojis, like not using apostrophes (which are ASCII-compatible) and
instead using ASCII-incompatible glyphs that likely don't even have the
same meaning :-P
