           40 The Unicode Standard has many blank characters scattered through it,
           41 but
           42 .I wc
           43 looks for only
           44 .SM ASCII
           45 space, tab and newline.
           46 .PP
           47 .I Wc
           48 should have options to count suboptimal
           49 .SM UTF
           50 codes
           51 and bytes that cannot occur in any
           52 .SM UTF
           53 code.
