Ucs-Detect

  I really want a caniuse.com (canicli / caniconsole?) of this data.
  • djoldman 11mo ago
    Something close to that is the table here: https://ucs-detect.readthedocs.io/results.html https://ucs-detect.readthedocs.io/results.html It's not at the lowest granularity though.

  When you want plain text and nothing but plain text, Unicode in the terminal is a hazard. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37957397 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37957397

    That has nothing to do with unicode.

      > ucs-detect automatically tests the Unicode version and support level... The first line of the site suggests otherwise.
      • bawolff 11mo ago
        The link in userbinator's comment has nothing to do with unicode. ucs-detect obviously does.

  Thanks for recommending foot. Never heard of this one

  How can it detect if Unicode codepoints have corresponding glyphs?
  • yorwba 11mo ago
    It cannot. But it can detect whether the terminal emulator is shifting the cursor by the correct number of cells when displaying a character. Glyph support is typically left to the system font stack, but positioning and hence cursor movement needs to be handled by the terminal emulator.
    • amelius 11mo ago
      In that case, I want a detection software that can screen-grab the terminal to check if the glyphs are correct.

  Is there a way of reporting this to the terminal creators?
