GregDid you know that new <a href="https://icosahedron.website/tags/Emoji" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Emoji</a> can be proposed by anyone, simply by following some guidelines laid out by the <a href="https://icosahedron.website/tags/Unicode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Unicode</a> consortium? There's a time window each year where they accept proposals, and a select few might make it into future sets.This year I turned one in: "Circuit Board", which I was surprised to find 1. didn't exist and 2. had not been proposed before (though CPU and Microchip have both been submitted and declined in the last 5 years)You can read my proposal here: <a href="https://storage.googleapis.com/greg-kennedy.com/Proposal%20for%20Emoji%20%E2%80%9CCircuit%20Board%E2%80%9D.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://storage.googleapis.com/greg-kennedy.com/Proposal%20for%20Emoji%20%E2%80%9CCircuit%20Board%E2%80%9D.pdf</a>and you can see the Unicode emoji proposal guidelines here: <a href="https://www.unicode.org/emoji/proposals.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.unicode.org/emoji/proposals.html</a>Anyway, the odds aren't great of getting accepted, but if it IS then you can say "hey! I know the guy who submitted that one!"Attached are the sample images I drew up for the proposal - which, incidentally, are now Public Domain as well. Enjoy!

SnoopJTIL that in <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Unicode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Unicode</a>, U+23BE through U+23CC are a series of symbols dedicated to the notation (?!) of dentistry

Aaron “#e14n pro” Madlon-KayAndroid 16 (SDK 36) is now out and it has added support for the following emoji:🪉🪏🪾🫆🫜🫟🫩(This is the only change in code point coverage versus SDK 35 that I could detect.)I've updated Is It Tofu? with the new data: <a href="https://tofu.quest/?q=%F0%9F%AA%89%F0%9F%AA%8F%F0%9F%AA%BE%F0%9F%AB%86%F0%9F%AB%9C%F0%9F%AB%9F%F0%9F%AB%A9" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://tofu.quest/?q=%F0%9F%AA%89%F0%9F%AA%8F%F0%9F%AA%BE%F0%9F%AB%86%F0%9F%AB%9C%F0%9F%AB%9F%F0%9F%AB%A9</a><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Android" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Android</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Unicode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Unicode</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/IsItTofu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IsItTofu</a>

At The Mag, remember Ops got this filtering software and we decided to see if we could break it? Tox added an "@" before the <html> tag. Browser totally rendered the page but filter wouldn't parse it because of the At 🤣🤣🤣I think it took us three hours?<a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/porn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#porn</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Unicode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Unicode</a>

SvenDownloading as many HTML pages that you can find that has <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/porn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#porn</a>. Converting all those texts to <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Unicode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Unicode</a>. Doing text comparisons to see if there is something similar between those pages. This does not help you find/filter porn.Somebody paid me to try this, it didn't work.

SvenIn there a <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Unicode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Unicode</a> way to represent 100 in a single fullwidth character?

David JONESThe macOS Character Viewer previews all Unicode space characters as a blank space, so finding any particular space can be a bit of a chore. Here's me trying to find PUNCTUATION SPACE.<a href="https://typo.social/tags/Unicode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Unicode</a>

Aaron “#e14n pro” Madlon-KayThe iOS 18.5 SDK finally came out and the only change for Unicode coverage is the *removal* of a bunch of Sinhala codepoints:ඁ෦෧෨෩෪෫෬෭෮෯𑇡𑇢𑇣𑇤𑇥𑇦𑇧𑇨𑇩𑇪𑇫𑇬𑇭𑇮𑇯𑇰𑇱𑇲𑇳𑇴(Those of you on iOS 18.4: Enjoy seeing those glyphs while you can!)<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ios" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ios</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/unicode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#unicode</a>

David JONESI was doing some particular work on spaces for my font-in-progress, and as a result i extended the research on the 5 year old draft of my Unicode Spaces article and published it: <a href="https://home.octetfont.com/blog/unicode-space.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://home.octetfont.com/blog/unicode-space.html</a> <a href="https://typo.social/tags/Unicode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Unicode</a> (i now realise i should've made a click-baity title: Unicode’s top-ten space codepoints, you won’t believe number 7!)

Mathias Hasselmann<a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/ASCII" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ASCII</a> was a mistake: It could not even encode all the languages spoken in the USA. This mistake lasted for 19, maybe for years; depending on weither you consider ISO/IEC 8859 or <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/Unicode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Unicode</a> a solution.Anyway: Unicode exists for 34 years now.Demanding compatibility with a short lived mistake, while proper solutions exists for min. 34 years, has nothing to do with technical debt or compatibility. Demanding it is agenda. It is <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/Xenophobia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Xenophobia</a> that propagates superiority of White English speaking men.

Mathias HasselmannHow xenophobic does one have to be to introduce a new parameter `ensure_ascii` to Python's `json.dump()` function and to enable this xenophobic misfeature by default?<a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/rant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rant</a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#programming</a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/xenophobia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#xenophobia</a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/unicode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#unicode</a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/ascii" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ascii</a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/python" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#python</a>

TimwiI just found out that <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/Unicode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Unicode</a> has segment-display digit characters. The below screenshot is all in one font (<a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/JuliaMono" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JuliaMono</a>). The characters are U+1FBF0 to U+1FBF9. Unicode is gorgeous

Stephan MichelsUnicode contains many useful characters. For example, there are variants for superscript and subscript numbers, which are especially useful for units. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Swift" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Swift</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Unicode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Unicode</a>

P.J. Meisch<a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/TIL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TIL</a> If you ever wanted to have a hashtag directly followed by other letters like in <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/HashTag" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HashTag</a>s are great (notice that the s is not part of the hashtag), you can add a zero width space (<a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Unicode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Unicode</a> U+200B).While on macOS and iOS this is doable but not very easy, in Linux I just hold ctrl+shift while entering u200b and then releasing ctrl-shift.Another advantage of giving my old <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/iMac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#iMac</a> an new <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Linux</a> life.edited to fix a typo
