What’s the difference between fashionable clip art and humankind’s symbols?
It feels like there’s this bias where people think they know what’s relevant and what’s just nonsense from the younger generation or what have you.
Mind you, Unicode stresses me out. It’s trying to catalog something that’s impossible to because it’s arbitrary and limitless. And it’s doing it within the arena of software engineering where we really crave rules and clear boundaries.
But if we didn’t try, we’d be worse off. Unicode is in some ways a horror, but it’s valuable, even if flawed.
