e: lol why downvoting the inquisitive reader? this community sheeesh. hacker news seems a misnomer more than anything.
- ygra 7y agoDepending on the codepage ... extended ASCII is just as much a misnomer here as ASCII in the original post.
- echeese 7y agoOkay how about codepage 437 then
- tomcooks 7y agoBecause ASCII is an American-centric standard that needs to die, in favor of more inclusive standards? Unicode is already not common enough, last thing that IMHO is needed are _more_ programs that don't implement well accepted, well tested standards.
