Ever since I started listening to emma essex's music I have found just how half-baked Unicode handling is, even in current year.
Some of my favorite examples are:
"โ", by "HHSU ๐ ๐ฎ๐๐๐๐๐๐, ๐๐ช๐๐๐, ๐๐ฎ๐ช๐ป๐ฝ๐๐ธ๐ธ๐ญ", from the album "๐
๐
" (U+1D159);
"โซโซโฉโซโฟโฉ but it's ๆ้ฆ้ ่ ๅคงๅพ็";
"๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ{๏ผ''ยป''๏ผยฒ๏ผ}๏ผโ๏ผ''ยป''๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ";
- joveian 3y agoThis got me to look up a UTF-8 to unicode code point command line tool, which it turns out is "uconv -x hex/unicode". The first one looks like mostly mathematical alphanumeric symbols: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_Alphanumeric_Symbols https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_Alphanumeric_Symb... I wonder if anyone has used characters in the unicode private use area. That could have interesting results.
- extraduder_ire 3y agoI'm sure some of the characters got stripped out by hn.
- layer8 3y agoI was surprised HN let ๐ through. Apparently not banning Egyptian hieroglyphs yet.
- Cyykratahk 3y agoApple music dislikes the song "โ" so much that it's entirely missing from the album in my account.
