Unicode capability - Githubissues

Vale is not yet Unicode capable. Here is a test program:

fn main() export {
  english = "Hello world from Vale!"; 
  println(english);

  // Unicode:
  espanol := "¡Hola, mundo!";    
  lao := "ສະບາຍດີຊາວໂລກ";
  urdu := "!ہیلو ، دنیا";
  emoji := "👋🌍❗";
  greek_greeting = "Καλημέρα κόσμε"; 
  asian_greeting = "こんにちは 世界";

  println(espanol);
  println(lao);
  println(urdu);
  println(emoji);
}

which gives as output:
