#Unicode is one of those little things in life that I can't help but smile about.

Is it perfect? No, of course not. Is it better than the alternative? Yes, so much so that every time I'm confronted with a long list of character encodings I can choose from, I feel a sense of relief when I find #UTF8 among them.

I wouldn't have thought it possible to standardize a single character encoding for everyone, and yet, somehow, there is just such a standard.

#Programming #UTF8 that was kind of annoying to implement but I can now store and a UTF8 string and print it out.

...at least a subset of utf8, I don't have checks for all the possible utf8 characters yet.

How quickly can you check that a string is valid unicode (UTF-8)? — https://lemire.me/blog/2018/05/09/how-quickly-can-you-check-that-a-string-is-valid-unicode-utf-8/ #utf8 #programming

Imutin kaikki #Facebook'in julkaisuni – ainakin jos #Meta'a uskotaan. Pyysin #JSON-muodossa toivossa, että tulisi sutjakammin. Hieman ongelmia aiheutti JSONin koodaus: merkkijonot ovat validia #UTF8:aa mutta JSON ilmeisesti olettaa #UTF16:n, joten vaaditaan mukamuunnos eestaas; apua löytyi #StackOverflow’sta. Aikaleimat sentään olivat standardi-#POSIX’ia.

En tiedä, kuinka täydellinen ”arkisto” on, mutta ainakin jotakin saisi talteen, kun lähtee lätkimään. #some #atkjuttuja

Hey everyone. I must admit, I don't believe I have ever seen someone enter #utf8 #unicode characters on a #computer in a natural way. Which seems weird, because a bunch of languages use them.

I wrote a #commonLisp #asdf package that just looks up a list of symbols in a file that has every non-surrogate unicode codepoint in it, and an #emacs #elisp function that just calls the #lisp one.

Multilingual people, what can you tell me about doing this at all?

#Firefox : Falsche Umlaute reparieren - pctipp.ch https://www.pctipp.ch/praxis/firefox/firefox-falsche-umlaute-reparieren-2774926.html #charset #UTF8 #ISO88591

In #UTF8 gitb es das Symbol ⍼.

Es heißt Angzarr, eine Art Ligatur aus einem L und einem Blitz.

Niemand weiß so richtig, warum es in UTF8 enthalten ist, aber in diesem Dok. ist am Ende ein Brief vom AMS-Präsidenten!

Also wofür steht es??

Unicode is hard, even in 2025

Why does this PHP construct:

normalizer_normalize( $search_string, \Normalizer::FORM_D );

Convert ÖÖÖ to OOO, but keeps ÅÅÅ as ÅÅÅ ... WTF?!

[Перевод] Кодирование UTF-8 без ветвления

Можно ли кодировать UTF-8 без ветвлений? Да . Вопрос Натан Голдбаум задал в чате Recurse вопрос: Я знаю, как декодировать UTF-8 с помощью битовой математики и таблиц поиска (см. https://github.com/skeeto/branchless-utf8 ), но если я хочу преобразовать кодовую точку UTF-8, то можно ли сделать ли это без ветвлений? Для начала, можно ли как-то написать эту функцию на C, которая возвращает количество байтов, необходимых для хранения байтов UTF-8 кодовой точки, без использования ветвления? Или для этого потребуется огромная таблица поиска?

Glyphe surprenant du jour : ₣, symbole monétaire du Franc français (!).
Rendu par "un F majuscule doublement barré, qui a été proposé par Édouard Balladur en 1988, une ligature Fr ou d’autres variantes.
Selon Yannis Haralambous en 2004, ce symbole n’a jamais été utilisé"
