This. But it strenghtens the arguments that programming environments should just come with some sort of support for the most common encoding forms.
- nine_k 4y agoIt does: say, Latin-1 has one-byte code points for characters like ê, but a UTF-8 sequence may represent it as an e followed by a combining circumflex.
- lultimouomo 4y agoLatin-1 is a different character set; you do not need knowledge of code points to convert between different UTF encodings.
- int_19h 4y agoThat does not require you to know which Unicode characters are classified as combining marks. It only requires that a Unicode sequence U+0045 U+0302 is translated to Latin-1 character 0xEA (or vice versa).
