How does your scheme handle Turkish "Dotless I"?
Should there be different codepoints for serif and sans-serif versions of the same letter? After all, in some typefaces, "uppercase I" and "lowercase L" look just about the same.
- WalterBright 3y agoI think you mean fonts. No, Unicode should not encode fonts. Nor should it encode italic, boldface, underline, line out, reverse video, point size, superscript, subscript, or colored. Those are all style attributes, best applied with a style sheet, not a code point.
- ben_w 3y ago> superscript, subscript Very strongly disagree. Copy-pasting 10<sup>6</sup> turns into 106 rather than 10⁶.
- account42 3y agoDepends where you copy and paste it. Encoding superscript variants is a fools errand because you really need an exponential number of variants for ALL characters to fully support possible combinations of styles. The only reason (a very limited selection of) superscript variants are in Unicode at all is for backwards compatibility with mistakes made by earlier encodings.
