Unicode character counts
The JS in the front-end counts characters correctly, but the back-end counts the number of bytes (even though it says “characters”).
Not a big deal, but I'm never sure whether it *should* be counting bytes or whether it should be counting characters—either way it needs to be consistent.

Inappropriate?Should be fixed with PHP 6. In the meantime, I solved a similar problem by using the multibyte extension:
