I wasn't even aware those were characters you could like put into text
unicode is great isnt it,
it supports almost all writing systems
for example here is the transcript of one of the complaints about ea-nasirs shitty copper :

in the original cuneiform as a copypasta
I wonder if Nanni would be satisfied to know that over 3,700 years later, people still know that Ea-Nasir was an asshole?
Thanks to Unicode we have the many-eyes seraphim: ꙮ
aparently unicode supports about 1.1 million characters, and we currently only use 96,382 as of version 4.0
EDIT: i just read that unicode 4.0 is very outdated, current version is unicode 15.1 with 149,878 characters.
I am developing a language consisting of only communicating in different versions of zip-archive bombs
A Unicode character can be up to 4 bytes, so 2^32 or 4,294,967,296 potential unique characters. And it'd be easy enough to adjust the standard to allow for an extra byte(s) if necessary -- it's been done before.
This is incorrect. While in UTF-32 a character (actually a code point) requires 4 bytes, and in UTF-8 up to 4 bytes, the Unicode standard is limited to 17*2^16 code points. (edit: apparently because that is the limit of UTF-16. 4 Byte UTF-8 can encode 2^21 code points, but it is not technically limited to four bytes, so in total is a ble to encode 2^31 code points)
Unicode is the standard that says "the thing we call captial A is the 65th character", literally defining a mapping from numbers to concepts.
UTF-8 or UTF-32 are a way to encode a list of numbers in a more (UTF-8) or less (UTF-32) efficient way.
I'm at a loss
I didn’t get it until I read your frustration, and then the weight and dread of comprehension hit me
Goddamnit. Me too.
this is the new rickroll isn't it
This is a years old meme lol
year old? Sir Loss appeared in 2008
Edit: mb didnt see the plural years, also wow i didnt think it was that old damn
I gotta thank the comments for cluing me in, I'm too dumb to figure out on my own
At first I thought it was about NNN
It's a zombie meme that has long lost any connection to the comic at this point.
Please help?
Goood damn it.
thanks for using Leebra!
