It's very annoying and I've only seen this in OpenAI models before (o3-mini).
- adrian_b 2y agoBy "fancy Unicode characters" I assume that you mean that it uses the appropriate Unicode characters, instead of using the ambiguous ASCII characters, whose only reason for existence was the limitations of ancient hardware, and whose use should have been better deprecated in modern applications.
- killerstorm 2y agoProbably. These characters do not render properly in my setup (Emacs, SLIME REPL). Gemini and Claude use ASCII.
- Philpax 2y agoSounds like you should improve your setup ;)
- exe34 2y agothere's a lot of things I could be doing with my time. posting on random internet forums ranks higher than figuring out ascii vs utf in one more system.
- Hojojo 2y agoWow, that's awful. I wonder why they do that.
- GaggiX 2y agoRetrofuturism, using AI and not having the editor set up to render Unicode characters.
- HappMacDonald 2y agoBy fancy unicode characters he probably means HN won't allow them in comments.
