Added support for umlauts via decomposed diacritics, changed the toolbar to something more familiar (family+bold+italic) and added support for Greek letters where possible. Umlauts aren't always placed correctly this way. https://panzi.github.io/unicodeformat/ #Unicode #formatting #JavaScript

Eckernförde • N 54°28’ E 9°50’3d ago

Pinselohr statt dicke Backen:
Warum wir ein echtes Eichhörnchen-Emoji brauchen

„Digitale Kommunikation ist ohne Emojis kaum noch vorstellbar. Doch in deren Angebot klaffen bedenkliche Lücken: Wo ist das Eichhörnchen-Emoji? Das vorhandene Streifenhörnchen kann mit dem Eckernförder Wappentier nicht mithalten.“

Die Einführung eines Eichhörnchen-Emojis erfährt bestimmt auch außerhalb Eckernfördes große Unterstützung!

Kolumne: Warum Eckernförde ein echtes Eichhörnchen-Emoji braucht

Digitale Kommunikation ist ohne Emojis kaum noch vorstellbar. Doch wo ist das Eichhörnchen-Emoji? Das muss sich ändern, findet unser Autor.

Happy emoji proposal re-opening day to all who celebrate.

Emoji season runs from today through Jul. 31.

(There are still no capybara, guinea pig, or squirrel emoji as far as I know.)

#ANSI ( #MBCS を扱うのにANSIって何なんだ) 版の末尾AなAPIのMAX_PATHが260文字ではなく260バイトに起因している (86文字じゃないの!? Part.2) と考えられるわけですが、ここで #Unicode 版末尾WなAPIに与える文字列はUCS-2なのか、サロゲートペアの地獄を見かねないUTF-16なのか気になっている

🌘 書寫系統導論
➤ 從字源到數位編碼：解構東亞書寫系統的排版技術
✤ https://r12a.github.io/scripts/tutorial/part2
本文深入探討了東亞書寫系統（中、日、韓）的結構與技術特性。作者不僅分析了漢字（Hanzi/Kanji/Hanja）在簡繁體之間的演變，還解構了日語混用平假名、片假名與漢字的複雜排版機制，以及韓語諺文（Hangul）獨特的音節構造。文中強調了 Unicode 在處理這些複雜語系中的關鍵角色，特別是針對字元編碼、偏旁部首識別以及如何應對歷史遺留的半形/全形字元問題提供了基礎的技術指引。
+ 這篇文章對於理解 Unicode 如何處理 CJK（中日韓）字元提供了很好的概覽，特別是對於漢字簡繁轉換和偏旁部首的解釋非常清晰。
+ 對於需要開發跨語言軟體的人來說，這是一份極佳的入門參考。特別是關於全形半形字元的歷史背景解釋，解釋了為何現代開發應優先使用字體渲染而非傳統的編碼轉換。

An Introduction to Writing Systems

The tutorial will provide you with an understanding of key requirements for implementing writing systems in information technology. It will do this by examining real examples of a wide range of modern scripts to discover features that a computerized implementation must support.

👴 Welcome to the riveting world of #writing #systems and Unicode! Because who doesn't want to spend their day deciphering character sets and #script links? 💤 Here's a fun fact: #Chinese #characters were simplified in the 1950s, because evidently, Mainland China thought people had way too much free time. 🙄
