gollark: It'll use switchable UTFs encoded in floats for now with a dedicated float encoding later.
gollark: Bees can't factor numbers thus no.
gollark: Besides, that would break the thing where you can choose which UTF to use individually per character.
gollark: u64? This is not a float thus no.
gollark: The floats won't be for strings but individual codepoints (well, as a few bytes) so they are numbers and not not numbers.
