Martin Maciaszek :commodore:<p>Updated my unilookup utility. It now accepts unicode strings on stdin as well as a command line parameter.

Greg<p>Did you know that new <a href="https://icosahedron.website/tags/Emoji" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Emoji</span></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" target="_blank">#<span>Unicode</span></a> consortium? There's a time window each year where they accept proposals, and a select few might make it into future sets.</p><p>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)</p><p>You can read my proposal here:<br><a href="https://storage.googleapis.com/greg-kennedy.com/Proposal%20for%20Emoji%20%E2%80%9CCircuit%20Board%E2%80%9D.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">storage.googleapis.com/greg-ke</span><span class="invisible">nnedy.com/Proposal%20for%20Emoji%20%E2%80%9CCircuit%20Board%E2%80%9D.pdf</span></a></p><p>and you can see the Unicode emoji proposal guidelines here:<br><a href="https://www.unicode.org/emoji/proposals.html" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">unicode.org/emoji/proposals.ht</span><span class="invisible">ml</span></a></p><p>Anyway, the odds aren't great of getting accepted, but if it IS then you can say "hey!

@doctorwhom Ha! 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?

Downloading as many HTML pages that you can find that has #porn. Converting all those texts to #Unicode. 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.

The 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.

The 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!)

#ASCII 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 #Unicode 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 #Xenophobia that propagates superiority of White English speaking men.
