This is really neat. I didn't know that perl has such extensive
utf-8 support now (including the whole unicode database). I know
perl only from the "Llama book" (Learning Perl, 1997 edition)
which neither mentions unicode, nor explains the ord function.

BTW uni might be improved by making its input case-insensitive.
