Surprisingly it's actually the correct way to render that unicode. It's just a stack of upper diactrics http://jsbin.com/erajer/7/?%E0%B8%81%E0%B9%89%E0%B9%89%E

- jQueryIsAwesome 14y agoTechnically "correct" you mean; if there was an unicode character that filled all the screen with the color black it would not matter if it were technically "correct", usability correct is more important.
- jlarocco 14y agoI disagree. If stacking diacritics are a legitimate part of a language and they change the meaning of words or characters, then it's more important that the content be correct than the "usability." In fact, if a person can't read it or reads it incorrectly because parts of characters are hidden, then it's not very usable. Hypothesizing about a Unicode character that fills the screen with black is a nonsensical straw man, because it makes no sense in "real world" written languages, so there would never be a Unicode character for it.
- jQueryIsAwesome 14y agoFalse; diacritics commonly used in the real-world such as "´¨`" fit inside the same space as the characters, this successive chain of diacritics is never used in real-world texts except for very few obscure cases. Plus the implementation of UTF8 should include the line-height required for the correct displaying of the character if they really believe the displaying of obscure characters is more important than usability.
- ryanpetrich 14y agoUTF-8 is an encoding and has no say on how a given character should be rendered.
- aviraldg 14y agoWhat is obscure for you is not obscure for someone else.
- TazeTSchnitzel 14y agoAre you implying Thai diacritics are not "commonly used in the real world"?
