There isn't a simple 1:1 correspondence between anything at all. The only definitive thing about Unicode strings is the beginning where you should start your parsing.
Then the way things are supposed to be displayed to be Unicode-compliant look more like some virtual machine analyzing the code. How is this different from any other declarative language?
