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...
Their employees have failed Unicode college >:(
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.
¯\_(ã )_/¯
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.
So... she's running DD-WRT :P
UTF-8 Random anyone?
What did i just read
Yeah I think I'm OOTL, can someone explain?
I think the simulation is broken again.
0-255 was good enough for me an my grandpappy.
0-127, top bit is always 0.
i thought the top bit was originally 0 or 1 depending on the evilness/odiousness of the rest of the number, as a parity check.
The standard itself is 7-bit, since wires were deemed more valuable than endpoint logic for the teletype machines way back then. If you're running it on an 8-bit byte machine you could do it either way, although I'm not sure what the point in parity checking individual characters is. Modern software uses 0.
Damn big-endians always looking down on the rest of us.
Just like pokemon
Good ol' Alt+1``3``0.
I guess Beyonce has no love for Extended ASCII.
Compose e ’
or AltGr + ' + e I love this shortcut
You've been able to do diacritical marks with ASCII for over thirty years. It's already standard. alt+0233
Yeah let's drop wide characters, it was a bad idea. Let's simplify.. also let's convert all porn back to ASCII art.
