It does raise some valid points: does color encoding belong into unicode? should we roll back bold and cursive alphabet unicode sections and relay these to fonts? or should we extend unicode to include horizontal and vertical mirroring of characters?
- jhanschoo 4y agoThe bold and cursive Unicode have a "proper" use in display for mathematical symbols. You can't roll back these assignments anyway, and these are probably most dominantly used in math homework etc. produced in MS Word.
- CRConrad 4y agoI thought Unicode already has mirrored characters?
- singularity2001 4y agoThere is a Unicode control code to change text direction[0] (arab etc). But no control codes to mirror individual characters or words vertically or horizontally. Nor are there general stand-alone mirrored letters, only a few select exceptions [1] U+202E "OVERRIDE, RIGHT-TO-LEFT" 0x0F3B 3899 TIBETAN MARK GUG RTAGS GYAS ༻ 0x0F3A 3898 TIBETAN MARK GUG RTAGS GYON ༺ And some funny trickery mapping roman letters to … whatever looks similar: https://fontvilla.com/mirror-text-generator/ https://fontvilla.com/mirror-text-generator/
