Doesn't the umlaut seem like a bad marketing decision?
Yes Unicode is cool, I'm glad we have it, I'm glad increasingly more things support it. I don't know the key combination for any character modifier off-hand, I usually copy these sorts of characters from google when I need them. It seems like it makes this framework unnecessarily harder to find.
- Okx 3y agoNot only that, but it makes the pronunciation difficult. Should this be pronounced like the English word "love", or interpreted more like a German word (which actually has this letter in the alphabet, and guess what, it isn't the same as o) and more like "loeve"? The umlaut isn't just a graphical stylisation, it's a real thing.
- lutoma 3y agoYeah it's really irritating when American companies (or bands) put an Umlaut in their name but then just pronounce it like the regular letter.
- edflsafoiewq 3y agoEnglish has it's own usage of the diaeresis, unrelated to the German umlaut. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diaeresis_(diacritic) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diaeresis_(diacritic)
- ginko 3y agoIt obviously should be pronounced like løve.

- edflsafoiewq 3y agoYou don't have to type the umlaut.
- tapland 3y agoIt's an entirely different letter. Ö is not O, but Ö can be Ø
- tapland 3y agoNot even unicode. It's 8bit/extended ascii and they don't actyally call it löve anywhere that matters. It's named LOVE and nothing else. I'd much rather see projects named in leet or aLtCaPs, which are way cooler
