bobertYearning for simpler days? Annoyed by Liquid Glass? Type like it's 2001 with Lunicodes Mac OS X Aqua iOS keyboard theme.
With sort-of pixel-perfect recreations of MacOS Platinum, Windows 95, 2000 or the beautiful QNX Photon.
I'm still surprised the Aqua theme got through App Store Review 😗

Hugo van Kemenade@SnoopJ On the topic of Unicode updates, what do you think about this? https://discuss.python.org/t/allow-beta-ucd-files-to-be-used-in-the-future/106626

Allow beta UCD files to be used in the future?
The next beta review period of Unicode, Unicode 18, is expected to last from May to July 2026. Beta Review Status. Given that according to PEP 790 – Python 3.15 Release Schedule | peps.python.org, no new features will be allowed starting in 3.15beta1, such feature would be added in the upcoming 3.16: PEP 826 – Python 3.16 Release Schedule | peps.python.org This may seem contrived now, but suppose that a future Unicode’s beta review period overlaps with a future Python version’s alpha releases. ...
SnoopJmore specifically, this PR exposes a curious side effect of the Unicode 15.0 → Unicode 15.1 upgrade when it comes to #Python identifiers: ZWJ is now allowed as a 'continue' character (i.e. you can use it in an identifier as long as it's not the first codepoint)
```
$ python3.12 -c 'print(str.isidentifier("A_\u200d_B"))'
False
$ python3.13 -c 'print(str.isidentifier("A_\u200d_B"))'
True
$ python3.13 -c 'print(str.isidentifier("A_\u200d"))' # unfortunately, a trailing ZWJ is legal too
```

Victoria Krb RetroGeek BlogIt is again a rainy day so i made an #Unicode #UTF-8 editor on #AmigaOS3... #Amiga and i can convert most used encodage, and i can print tons of funny #emoji with function keys. Thanks #FreeType lib also and linux ttf collection. There is a whole new font system and low level draw functions to make it work. Not perfect yet but already fabulous. last note: the post from 2weeks ago, I was just doing the rendering engine, this is now a text editor.
Author-ized L.J.One neat thing you can do with #Emacs is using it as a text-based #unicode input method. Just do C-x 8 <return> and type a description, such as “heavy double turned comma quotation mark ornament” for the highly extra ❝ symbol. (Never mind that it sounds like a martial arts combo...) Suggestions will pop up and you can choose from the list. Copy and paste into any desired app. Decently fast if you have quick access to Emacs, like in an #i3wm scratchpad in my case.
