      Good old codepage to the rescue! (Yes, I know technically codepage isn't ASCII. I guess you could use box drawing extension to draw foreign language character if you wanted. Or maybe just SVG of the text)
      - em-bee 3y ago
        please not codepages. finally being able to write multiple languages in a single document, which is something i need to do frequently, really makes a difference. codepages were a nightmare compared to the simplicity that unicode is in this aspect.

If you serve this with: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 You can actually have no HTML at all

  What happens when server responds with text/plain and css? https://blog.openreplay.com/incorporating-css-to-a-page-via-http-headers/ https://blog.openreplay.com/incorporating-css-to-a-page-via-... (no time to check, only works in Firefox, but that's one idea on how to trick the system) Upd: checked and it works (e. g. add `Link: <https://unpkg.com/chota@latest https://unpkg.com/chota@latest>;rel=stylesheet;media=all`)

Honestly your site is unnecessarily bloated with Unicode. For an English language site, ASCII is enough.

These make me feel weird. On one hand, I love the way justified way it takes me back to old READMEs, GameFAQs, etc. but on the other all accessibility is thrown out the window.
