Title: Message
Most RDBMS out
there support arbitrary UNICODE characters (don't know about code points though)
through the concept of quoted names.

However, (feel free to flame me if I'm wrong) I don't think
there are any RDBMSs out there which support the full range of UNICODE
characters, or indeed NELs, in table or column names, nor are they likely to
in the near future, so at least whatever you do won't be broken by
Blueberry.
