So... UTF-8 interpreted as ISO-8859-1? You have failed Unicode college >:(

If only you knew how many huge companies have no fucking clue...

I agree! There really should be no excuses at this point... you'd think. Even in 2008 I already felt we were behind the loop, but apparently I was vastly underestimating how bigger companies just dgaf.

print('¯\_(ツ)_/¯'.encode('u8').decode('l1'))

And here I was typing out iso-8859-1 like a scrub to make sure I wasn't misremembering the encoding when doing the analogous thing in python...

Sorry, no, but I can support it in UTF-16.

Maybe she was sick of trying to get a terminal displaying utf correctly.

[–] TCB13@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

So... she's running DD-WRT :P
