Ruh-Roh, Runes!

Rune; A mark or letter of mysterious or magic significance

This dictionary definition of Rune is fitting for Go's Rune concept which is an implementation of Unicode Code Points.

In this presentation, we'll investigate a troublesome bug and in the process, we'll break this topic into byte-size pieces to help you normalize using Runes in your own programs 😉.
