Very odd that this author seems to be conflating Unicode with fonts? I assumed since android is “jvm by another name” it would be utf-16 internally, just like the jvm. Encoding and decoding utf-8 is no problem. But this author is lamenting the incomplete fonts available in google project noto.
- inferiorhuman 2y agoTo be fair the Noto fonts are a mess and suffer from Google-itis where communication about breaking changes is done poorly, if at all. For instance the author includes Noto Display in the table. However, Noto Display has been deprecated/abandoned with no replacement. The latest version of Noto Display (which is still available depending on where you're looking) has metadata that's just all sorts of wrong.
- amake 2y ago"Unicode" seems to have (colloquially) taken on the meaning of "complete or extensive language support".
