@rauschma Ah! I did something similar in Python - this is valid Python code:

def ℎ𝕖𝐥l𝙤():
try:
ℎ𝙚𝕝𝗹𝘰_ = "Hello"
w𝔬𝓇ˡ𝚍﹎ = "World"
𝖕𝘳𝒊𝖓𝑡(f"{𝗵𝒆𝘭𝓵𝚘﹍}, {𝑤º𝘳ｌ𝑑︴}!")
except Ｔ𝗒ₚ𝕖E𝗿𝗋𝗈𝓻 as ᵉ𝒙ⅽ:
𝐩ᵣ𝚒𝖓𝓉("failed: {}".𝕗𝕠r𝑚𝖺𝘵(ⅇ𝔵𝚌))

if _︳ｎ𝗮𝖒𝓮﹍︳ == "__main__":
h𝙚ⅼ𝐥𝕠()

Junior level dev: "Oh, this is going to be easy. How do they not know about len()?"

Senior level dev: "Oh, brilliant - a test of tolerance for pain by evaluating various code point chains with emoji, accents, and LTR/RTL markers. I'll start by writing some tests for 8-bit ord and char conversions with lookahead evals."

TIL that a proposal was made in 1997 to add #tengwar to #unicode. I'm disappointed it hasn't been made official yet though. Here's a link to the proposal document: https://www.unicode.org/wg2/docs/n1641.pdf #Tolkien #LordOfTheRings

Ubuntu LTS users will shortly be able to see and use the 8 new emoji included in Unicode 16.0.

In the open-source application `Unicopedia Sinica`, both data files used for the `CJK Components` and the `CJK Related` utilities are now in a consistent JSON format with MIT license: `cjk-ids.json` and `cjk-related.json` respectively.

🔗 https://codeberg.org/tonton-pixel/unicopedia-sinica

These data files are still a work in progress, independently available in their own (frequently updated) repository:

HUH, #Unicode UAX#31 offers official guidance on hashtag identifiers, and I have somehow managed to miss that completely for several years (introduced along with Unicode 11.0 in 2018).

It's not like I re-read the whole document regularly or anything but yea huh

iOS 18.2 did not add any new #Unicode coverage, at least at the code point level. Nevertheless, I have updated #IsItTofu

Hello, I'm an open source software engineer in my late 30s living in #Seoul, #Korea, and an avid advocate of #FLOSS and the #fediverse.

I'm the creator of @fedify, an #ActivityPub server framework in #TypeScript, and @hollo, an ActivityPub-enabled microblogging software for single users.

I'm also very interested in East Asian languages (so-called #CJK) and #Unicode. Feel free to talk to me in #English, #Korean (#한국어), or #Japanese (#日本語), or even in Literary Chinese (#文言文, #漢文)!

#introduction

Btw here's a little #gamedev unicode protip: unicode defines several character ranges as private use areas. You can map code points in these ranges to whatever glyph you want. This can be very handy for custom characters in your game that won't conflict with established unicode characters

In our games we use the PUA for keyboard and controller button glyphs

iOS 14 gets support for the Unicode Power Symbol!

A cool change is that the Core Specification of the Unicode Standard is now released as a static HTML subsite, backed up by an archiveable #PDF of 1,140 pages.

https://unicode.org/versions/Unicode16.0.0/core-spec/

You can now link to specific sections and paragraphs, e.g.

"Unicode is about plain text, see: https://unicode.org/versions/Unicode16.0.0/core-spec/chapter-2/#G642" .

I helped out in a small way with the project to produce the core spec as HTML + PDF. I think it is a marvellous improvement.

#introduction

#Introduction post for my own Mastodon instance!

• I’m a 43-year-old jack-of-all-trades.
• I grew up in #HongKong, lived in the #US. My partner of 14 years and I moved to #Taiwan in 2020.
• We are “parents” to one remaining dog.
• I have worked in journalism, finance, L&D, and now EdTech.
• I speak 6 #languages, and have dabbled in many others.
• Things I will nerd out about: #Unicode, #typography, #typhoons.
• I am a person of faith, but not a fan of organized religions.
• I type in #Dvorak.

If you believe that Chinese characters in #Chinese, #Korean, and #Japanese should all be divided into language-specific codes, then it is logical that the Latin characters in English, French, Italian, and German should all be divided into language-specific codes as well. Caveat: I don't believe so.

#Unicode

Well, I vote for Han unification of #Unicode, and I rather think that more Chinese characters should have been unified (e.g., 高 & 髙, 產 & 産, 內 & 内). 🤷

Nebaví vás googlit unicode znaky pro subscript a superscript? Mě už taky ne :-)

Akordy pro psaní horního a dolního indexu (ve smyslu Unicode) na klávesnici Windows se dají snadno vygooglit. Pod Linuxem je to ovšem trochu věda:

1) nejdřív Pravý alt + pravý shift + backspace + 2 (ano, čtyřhmat)
2) potom znak, který má být dolní index, třeba číslovka (což ovšem na české klávesnici, na kterou jste přepnutí, taky s shiftem, takže dvouhmat).

H₂O

Pro horní index ve stejném čtyřhmatu akorát nahradíte tu dvojku trojkou:

a² + b² = c²

Slušné akordy, ne? problém je, že pokud čtyřhmat nedomáčknete přesně (?) tak ten Backspace má tendenci fungovat jako backspace, takže umaže jeden znak... no zkrátka, dělám to pokaždé na několikátý pokus, zatím :-)

Vůbec jsem nepochopil návod
https://www.abclinuxu.cz/blog/kenyho_stesky/2020/8/psani-hornich-a-dolnich-indexu-pres-compose-key
... asi proto, že nevím, která PC klávesa je "compose key", ale v komentářích čtenářů jsem si všiml návodu pro slovenskou klávesnici a funguje mi i pro český layout a tak to předávám dál.

Formatting people’s names correctly in a given context, for a given purpose, is hard. International linguists recently helped update the #Unicode Common Locale Data Repository (#CLDR). It will help programmers display person names correctly in many settings.
Mike McKenna wrote about it in “A Story Teller’s Case Study: Unlocking the Power of CLDR Person Name Formatting – A Solution for Formatting Names in a Globalized World” https://www.unicode.org/media/CLDR_Person_Name_White_Paper_June%202023.pdf
