Unicode transliteration rules shown to be Turing-complete
A Hacker News post describes a proof that UTS #35 transliteration rules, as implemented in ICU, can express universal computation under unbounded semantics. The article compiles a 2-tag system into transliteration rules and demonstrates the idea with a Collatz-function example, noting that termination for a given rule file and input is undecidable.
