For those who might have been curious, one of the folders present when he opened acme was named ピテャゴラスイッチ, it's a japanese children's show:

I'm not sure why it was there... But just in case you wondered.

My eye went straight to it as well but more because I had passively (embarrassingly) assumed that Plan9 didn't have non-western fonts by default. 'twas a silly thought.

At least Plan9 did something wrong. UTF8 is so superior to this silly 16bits encoding.

Yes, and that's why they (Rob Pike & ken) created UTF-8 and converted Plan9 to use it.

Videos of that show on youtube are quite amusing and relaxing (goldberg machines).
