The #Unicode #codecharts are an amazing wealth of information. Apart from the representative glyphs which are nowhere else available, they can help to establish some kind of #taxonomy based on the names of #blocks and #subheaders, and also provide useful #annotations for #characters, creating #crossreferences between them.

However, extracting this information from the NamesList.txt data file used to generate the charts proves to be uneasy…

There is a entry in the #Unicode #CodeCharts which has been puzzling me since a while ago, both in the English and French version:

10F45 SOGDIAN INDEPENDENT SHIN
→ 6240 所

10F45 CHINE INDÉPENDANT SOGDIEN
→ 6240 所

Fortunately, I was able to find some explanation in the #CoreSpec - Chapter 14:

"The repertoire includes one phonogram, U+10F45 𐽅 SOGDIAN INDEPENDENT SHIN, an alternate form of isolated shin, used to transcribe one Chinese character, U+6240 所."

Now, I can die in peace…

I just found incidentally this interesting document about Unicode code charts; still a draft, I believe it is new in Unicode 18.0...

And of course, there is chapter 24 of the outstanding "Core Spec": About the Code Charts.

Il existe une version en français des "Code Charts Unicode", dont peu de gens soupçonnent même l'existence...

Aujourd'hui, je viens de trouver, un peu par hasard, la version française ListeNoms.txt (apparemment québécoise) du fichier NamesList.txt utilisé justement pour générer les données des "code charts":

From time to time (since this represents a tremendous amount of translation/adaptation work), a French version of the "code charts" gets published by the Unicode Consortium: the latest one is for Unicode 16.0:

https://www.unicode.org/Public/16.0.0/charts/fr/CodeCharts.pdf

This is especially useful for French speakers in #Canada, #France, #Belgium, #Switzerland, etc. but may soon be obsolete for #Quebec, in case it gets "absorbed" by a neighboring country whose official language is now English only...

De temps en temps (cela représente un énorme travail d'adaptation), une version française des "code charts" est publiée par le Consortium Unicode, la dernière en date est pour Unicode 16.0:

https://www.unicode.org/Public/16.0.0/charts/fr/CodeCharts.pdf

Malheureusement, celle-ci risque d'être bientôt obsolète pour les francophones de la belle province de Québec, dans le cas où celle-ci serait «absorbée» par un pays voisin dont la langue officielle est désormais uniquement l'anglais...
