<
as Samantha makes further progress on her
[grant](http://news.perlfoundation.org/2017/04/grant-proposal.html) to
improve the robustness of Unicode support in Rakudo.
In
[her complete blog post](https://cry.nu/perl6/grant-status-update-3/),
she describes:
* Implementation of a fully working Unicode Collation Algorithm with
only 82 of 190,377 tests failing
* 100% of Emoji 4.0 emoji are treated as a single grapheme, enabling
MoarVM to advertise full Unicode 9.0/Emoji 4.0 text segmentation
support.
* A number of other improvements and fixes, including significant
concatenation improvements and technical performance improvements.
