Please understand that these things are outside the scope of the language (except UNICODE, since they have a string class, and I believe this has been implemented half-assedly in C++11). That said, if C++ just had a nice set of standard namespaced libraries you could statically link to to support these things, like Haskell for example, it would eliminate one of the worst problems with C++. After that of course, there's still the godawful syntax and shit heaps of duplicate functionality.
