And as for <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Unicode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Unicode</a>, its scope is encoding plain text. Gestural signs by human bodies are not plain text, so they are out of scope for Unicode. So are smoke signals and bird calls and blues riffs. I don't get why you frame this as exclusion.

Even the signs that are in unicode aren't well supported. I've never seen a OS that does them out of the box and they can't be used in DNS, etc...

Dr. Fortyseven 🥃 █▓▒░It's kinda funny how one person's clever hack (<a href="https://defcon.social/tags/Unicode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Unicode</a> ZWJ sequences) can lead to anger and misinformation down the line.Here, for whatever reason, ZWJ sequences were breaking over on <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/Threads" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Threads</a> and users immediately assumed anti-trans malice on the part of the platform.It's easy to understand WHY someone would assume that in the current climate, but we've got to be careful to rule out other explanations before throwing confident accusations around. (This goes for me, too, btw.)EDIT: Apparently it was fixed for them at some point. No doubt responded with something along the lines of "they heard our anger and feared us so they restored it!" or some such. ;)

argv minus one<a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/Unicode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Unicode</a> is one of those little things in life that I can't help but smile about.Is it perfect? No, of course not. Is it better than the alternative? Yes, so much so that every time I'm confronted with a long list of character encodings I can choose from, I feel a sense of relief when I find <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/UTF8" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UTF8</a> among them.I wouldn't have thought it possible to standardize a single character encoding for everyone, and yet, somehow, there is just such a standard.<a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#programming</a>

HoldMyTypeUTF-8 has become the de facto standard for representing text. Emacs closely follows the <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/unicode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#unicode</a> standard, but uses an extended version of UTF-8 which enables support for raw bytes. Let me explain.One of the reasons that UTF-8 is so useful is because ASCII characters are automatically valid. These are the values between 0 and 127 and includes the English alphabet. If you assigned a code point to every value of the byte you could only have 256 possible characters. Instead, bigger code points are encoded using multiple bytes. The values above 127 are reserved for leading bytes in UTF-8. Thus a random value above the ASCII range may not be valid. However Emacs extends unicode to reserve the code points 0x3FFF80 to 0x3FFFFF as “raw bytes between 128 and 255”.The advantage of this is that Emacs can distinguish a “normal” byte that just happens to be valid UTF-8 from a “raw byte” that is not intended to be valid. However the display representation can be a confused with unprintable characters. For example, if you see this printed representation in the buffer:\201it can either be the unicode codepoint 0x81 (Emacs displays things in octal) or the raw byte 0x81 represented by codepoint 0x3FFF81. The only way to tell the difference is to inspect the character.There are other use-cases for a “mostly UTF-8 but not quite” type of formats. For example, WTF-8 is used to handle invalid UTF-16 conversions to UTF-8. The downside of these formats is that you lose compliance with the spec, which means you can’t use third-party string libraries that operate on code points. The Remacs team had to rewrite the primitive string type in their project to support raw bytes. <a href="https://coredumped.dev/2023/01/17/design-of-emacs-in-rust/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://coredumped.dev/2023/01/17/design-of-emacs-in-rust/</a>
