For Emoji standardization however, you'll have to rely on the #unicode consortium :blobcat3c:

Finding it very difficult to upgrade Moodle from 3.1 to 5.1 via 5 steps using git, upgrade.php and different versions of PHP for each version and different properties of databases. Super complex. Over the top. Phpmyadmin was much easier to upgrade with one zip file. Once PHP 8.4 was installed for WordPress 6.9 many other programs crashed or would not run so they have to be upgraded too. Too much dependency on properties of one language with features added and deprecated. They assume everyone magically upgrades every night. #moodle #php #git #upgrade #database #phpmyadmin #wordpress #extensions #unicode

What's the difference between ☄ and ☄️?

The hexcodes start the same but the latter is longer:

☄: e2 98 84

☄️: e2 98 84 ef b8 8f

Are both considered to be "emoji"?

@sleepycat this paper doesn't cite two relevant official #Unicode reports on the subject: "Unicode Security Mechanisms" unicode.org/reports/tr39/ and "Unicode Identifiers and Syntax" unicode.org/reports/tr31/ . Was the paper interested in solving problems, or just in collecting the engagement from pointing them out?

Font Generator - 170 polices stylées pour votre bio Instagram

fed.brid.gy/r/https://korben.i

<p>Si vous avez envie de pimper votre bio Instagram, votre pseudo Discord ou vos posts TikTok avec des caractères stylisés qui sortent de l'ordinaire, Font Generator va vous plaire ! C'est un outil gratuit en ligne qui convertit votre texte en 170+ styles différents basés sur Unicode, histoire de vous démarquer un peu dans la jungle des réseaux sociaux.</p>
<p>
<img alt="" src="https://korben.info/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,fit=scale-down,quality=90,f=avif/fontgenerator-design-polices-unicode/fontgenerator-design-polices-unicode-2.png" />
</p>
<p>Vous tapez votre texte dans la case, et hop, l'outil vous génère instantanément des dizaines de variantes : polices Script Bold Italic, Fraktur (style Old English), texte dans des bulles, lettres barrées, superscript, et j'en passe. Du coup, vous scrollez les styles disponibles, vous trouvez celui qui vous plaît, et vous le copiez-collez directement où vous voulez. Ça marche sur Instagram, Discord, Twitter/X, et même dans les jeux comme Roblox ou Fortnite.</p>
<p>Ce qui est cool, c'est que tout ça repose sur des caractères Unicode. Concrètement, ça veut dire que ce ne sont pas de vraies polices au sens technique, mais des caractères spéciaux qui existent déjà dans la norme Unicode. Résultat, pas besoin d'installer quoi que ce soit, ça fonctionne partout où l'Unicode est supporté (spoiler : QUASIMENT PARTOUT). Vous copiez, vous collez, et ça s'affiche correctement.</p>
<p>Ayez quand même conscience que pour les personnes malvoyantes, av

The #Unicode for the question mark (?) is U+003F

@mina
Das mit der kuratierten /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/de - Datei steht wahrscheinlich auf der prokrastinierenden #doDO​List.

Aktuell steht erst mal das programmieren der muscleMemory der neusten composeTastenOption und die Integration von Unicode into the memory an.

Interessant wäre auch, die irgendwo erwähnte EURO-#Tastatur​option zu checken, kann den Tipp hier auf diesem Server gerade nicht finden:
@utiopiarte@tupambae.org?

#ZeroWidthSpace ist in der Birne, jetzt brauch ich erst mal Tastaturaccess für ? und:
/ = uniCode U002F

#TodayILearned #TIL ... that you can use combining accents on the # of a #hashtag! For example #̧Cedilla. Why? Because someone, in a heroic feat of #DefensiveProgramming, thought "I bet some #weirdos will do that, I'd better deal with it sensibly". Why would weirdos like me do that? Because we're weirdos!

Also, you can pile them on top of each other! Therefore the official hashtag of #Zalgo is not #Zalgo, it is #̶̧̼͖̖̦͍͉̝̗͐̈́̏͜Zalgo.

"Rather than inserting logical bugs, adversaries can attack the encoding of source code files to inject vulnerabilities.

These adversarial encodings produce no visual artifacts.

The trick is to use Unicode control characters to reorder tokens in source code at the encoding level."

#Unicode 18.0 will add at least 13,000 characters.

“At UTC #185, nearly 13,000 additional characters were approved for encoding in Unicode 18.0.

The approved additions include encoding of Small Seal script ("Seal"), a repertoire of 11,328 ideographic characters. Seal is distinct from modern Han ideographs (aka, "CJK"), but is an important precursor of CJK resulting from the first efforts to standardize writing across Chinese-speaking regions during China's Qin Dynasty. As such, Seal has important cultural significance in China and for Chinese speakers throughout the world”
