UTF8 == DINGBATS
posted by also at 2006-07-18 10:53

also: Y GOD?
also: the answer: "compatibility"
also: "idiocy-creep"
also: eg, some of these are not plain hyphens. but some are.
also: summary: UTF8 is not globalised ASCII. UTF8 is dingbats.
also: lesson: next time someone walks up to you and says 'what we need is a standard way to represent human text', punch them in the face.
also: TIP: If there's a key on the keyboard that makes a character that looks like the character the person want's to type, DON'T replace the character with a similar but 'fancy' character.
also: or risk being assaulted at cocktail parties by strange Australian men.
also: why doesn't the official UTF8 normalisation process reduce the number of stupid equivelance cases like these to a manageable and sensible range?
also: UTF needs symlinks.
also: 'you appear to have typed low asterisk. did you mean just plain old asterisk? or were you trying to be smart?'
also: invisible times. wtf is that?
also: when the aliens invade, they will laugh.
