I saw a Tweet about Google's Dart language specification being approved by ECMA (European Computer Manufacturers Association). It reminded me about Dart and I thought "It's a new language, I should put it through the UnicodeOutOfTheBoxTests".
I had second thoughts when I started to download Dart and noticed that it was over 100Mb. So I checked the new published ECMA-408 and found that Dart strings are UTF-16 and there appears to be no other Unicode support.
I came to the conclusion that it wasn't worth the time to write the Unicode tests in Dart as the results would be identical to JavaScript.
