unicode is great isnt it,
it supports almost all writing systems

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?

[-] CosmicApe@kbin.social 12 points 1 year ago

How do I save comments on kbin?

[-] Deiv@lemmy.ca 23 points 1 year ago

Uninstall kbin and install something better

[-] habanhero@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

Screenshot it

Thanks to Unicode we have the many-eyes seraphim: ๊™ฎ

biblically accurate Typography,
quite literally

[-] sarmale@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 year ago

How many unicode characters could you add to the standard until it becomes unreliable?

[-] Kerb@discuss.tchncs.de 28 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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EDIT: i just read that unicode 4.0 is very outdated, current version is unicode 15.1 with 149,878 characters.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

[-] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] Turun@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[-] cmbabul@lemmy.world 44 points 1 year ago

Goddamn it

[-] TulipanJones@kbin.social 31 points 1 year ago

I didnโ€™t get it until I read your frustration, and then the weight and dread of comprehension hit me

[-] agent_flounder@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Goddamnit. Me too.

[-] shinysquirrel@lemmy.ml 29 points 1 year ago

this is the new rickroll isn't it

[-] candyman337@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 year ago

This is a years old meme lol

[-] olicvb@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

year old? Sir Loss appeared in 2008

Edit: mb didnt see the plural years, also wow i didnt think it was that old damn

[-] FierroGamer@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 year ago

I gotta thank the comments for cluing me in, I'm too dumb to figure out on my own

[-] kahjtheundedicated@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

At first I thought it was about NNN

[-] 0ops@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago

Dang I even thought that there was something profound in there until I checked the comments.

[-] 257m@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago

Can't believe that meme is still alive. How old is that comic?

[-] NickwithaC@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

It's a zombie meme that has long lost any connection to the comic at this point.

[-] FellowHuman@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

Please help?

[-] habanhero@lemmy.ca 22 points 1 year ago

Seems like you're at a loss.
