@samuel Wood:
This enables character sets such as Han allowing for native support for languages such as Chinese, Korean, and Japanese. That’s the underlying motivation here.
少拿中国人说事儿！如果真考虑中国人，就不会用w.org这个我们根本没法访问的域名了。4.2一出，所有中国大陆的WP用户都在叫苦，严重影响了网站的访问速度。
Please don’t say your motivation is for Chinese. If you consider our feelings, you would not use the domain “w.org” that Chinese mainland can not directly access. Chinese WP user are discussing “how to remove emoji” since 4.2 was released.
