What characters are present in your native language, that is not in ASCII?
- numpad0 4y agoTell me how many of top 100 websites in CJK use IDN...
- bananapub 4y ago> What characters are present in your native language, that is not in ASCII? is that a joke? or are you really under the impression that most languages use subsets of the Latin alphabet? even English uses letters that aren't in ASCII, much less literally every other one.
- saurik 4y agoI feel like you have misread the comment you are responding to, as that question was almost certainly an attempt to verify that the person who was arguing the other side of the point wasn't willing to do handedly screw over the majority of the world that doesn't use Latin characters because their non-English language--which they had thrown out for street cred here--happened to not need anything that wouldn't be readily mapped with low corruption to the Latin set.
- mongol 4y agoThe English alphabet does not contain non-ASCII chars. Which makes it quite unusual.
- cryptonector 4y agoNot entirely true. There is some use of umlauts. For example, The New Yorker insists on spelling re-elect as reëlect.
- scintill76 4y agoI don’t think people consider them part of the English alphabet. Which letters do they sort between, according to English sorting rules? Also, “Those two dots, often mistaken for an umlaut, are actually a diaeresis… Most of the English-speaking world finds the diaeresis inessential. Even Fowler, of Fowler’s “Modern English Usage,” says that the diaeresis “is in English an obsolescent symbol.”” https://www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/the-curse-of-the-diaeresis https://www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/the-curse-of-...
