== Quirk: Squeak 3.8 has no clean Unicode support ==

/me guesses Unicode is mandatory (Santiago Gala) - [http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/857 Unicode status in Squeak].

Squeak does reasonably good Unicode support. The educational environment is translated different languages, including Western- and Eastern- European languages, Korean, Japanese, etc. While UTF-8 has nothing special about "Localization and Universal Access", Squeak's internal encoding is Unicode-based (more like UTF-32).
