Dunno if I'm an expert, but I do know the difference between UTF-8, UTF-16, UTF-32, etc. and what a code page is actually used for (for non-Unicode).
Gary Wheeler wrote: If there are, are there different code points for each type of comma?
If it's a different glyph it's always a different code point. An easy way to verify this is to copy and paste any text you want into a text file, save it as Unicode, and inspect the text file in a hex editor.
Edit: Just read the comic after writing this  , he's using the same comma for the comic strip. He's just being silly with all the crap we go through to not agree on stuff.

A short search through Unicode code chart shows Arabic comma, reversed comma, medieval comma, ideographic comma, Georgian comma, Ehtiopic comma, and so on.
Sadly there is no Oxford comma

A fact (nowhere near as funny as your post):
In Modern Greek ";" is a question mark! I do believe it does have its own codepoint.

Is the CCC too difficult - not even a wild guess makes me think no one is reading it.

I (think I) have the first two letters. The rest nothing.

Thanks for additional clue! I think the answer is 'respite' (highlight text with mouse to read the suggested answer).
I admit that I used a list which sorts words by word length to help, but that would not have helped without the first two letters

I'd say you have it. Jump in!

NO, but I only just got round to seeing it (hearing aids for the first time today, and they are driving me round the bend...)

I didn't find it too difficult. It took me about 10 minutes to solve it. But, I didn't start till about 40 minutes ago. It was solved, and usually is, a couple hours before I've even read it. Central Daylight Time is about 6 hours earlier than your time. If I'm awake at 3 am my time it's usually because the coyotes are howling outside my bedroom window.
I'm not advocating for changing the "official" start time of the CCC. I am trying to solve them, it's just that I'm starting late so there's no reason to respond if I do solve it (unless I have a pithy comment).

I've only just looked at it ( having read this post) and no, doesn't strike me as hard. Easier than many of yours, I'd say. (That's not to say I would necessarily have got it, but it's not a complex or dodgy clue)

I just re-watched "Pump Up the Volume" (1990) and Harry's opening monologue is still accurate.
