EmojiKitchen Emoji of a Raccoon in a Trash Can holding a Champagne bottle with the cork popping
#HotTake: #EmojiKitchen would be a really good way to extend #Emoji, and maybe there should be something added to the #unicode standard to procedurally extend your emoji like that with another one, because being able to specify something as specific as "raccoon in […]

Seriously, Apple, unicode. We don’t need/want more emoji. We want better functionality.

Durdraw is an #ASCII #Unicode and #ANSI art editor for UNIX-like systems (Linux, macOS, etc). It runs in modern Utf-8 terminals and supports high speed frame animation, 256 and 16 color modes, mouse drawing and paint brushes.

I've written up the process of getting those missing half-star symbols onto a web page by embedding a font that supports them.
It's definitely overkill for this use case, but I wanted to see what it would take, and I figured it was worth saving the information. If at some point I decide I need […]

A rather dense collection of byte values in a giant list. This is a small portion of the index for an exported font, with the tables arranged in order of unicode codepoint. Several nested tables are used to make the indexing efficient on a 6502 processor, which generally favors "pages" of 256 bytes each.
A lengthy routine in assembly, partially completed, named "access glyph at codepoint." This routine's job is to index into a nested tree of tables, spanning several memory banks in the process, as the entire table is too big to fit in memory at one time.
It's a table describing the 1bpp glyph for a percent sign, along with metadata concerning that glyph's width, height, and bit depth.
"Why, I'll just decode UTF8 on an NES," I said. "It'll be the easiest option!", I said.
So if you're wondering why updates have been slow, it turns out text encoding is remarkably complicated. Who knew? Have a peek into the abyss with me.

Gerade ereilte mich das Bedürfnis herauszufinden, ob es einen Unicode-Block für Braille (sog. Blindenschrift) gibt. Und natürlich gibt es den! Und jetzt frage ich mich, was macht eine Braille-Zeile oder ein Screen-Reader aus Unicode Braille? 🤯

The UAE Dirham symbol has been added/is being added to Unicode 18.0! We should soon see the new symbol used to represent dirhams instead of AED or Dhs/Dh.

Gotta say, I’m giving #Unicode’s #Emoji working group the squinty-eye over their decision to replace a highly useful skepticism signifier with something akin to the melting face.

Most Java input validation assumes ASCII-era rules.
Unicode breaks that assumption.
A deep dive into Unicode security:
• invisible characters
• homograph attacks
• BiDi overrides
• production-grade defenses in Quarkus
