I don't agree that the notion of multi-codepoint characters is necessary, I don't think it was a good idea at all. I submit [1] as evidence. Whatever this mess is, it's a whole thing that isn't a byte-stream and it isn't "characters" and it isn't human language. Burn it with fire and let's do something else. [1] http://stackoverflow.com/documentation/unicode/6485/characte... (In reality I am slightly less hard-core, I see some value in Unicode. And I really like Z̨͖̱̟̺̈̒̌̿̔̐̚̕͟͡a̵̭͕͔̬̞̞͚̘͗̀̋̉̋̈̓̏͟͞l̸̛̬̝͎̖̏̊̈́̆̂̓̀̚͢͡ǵ̝̠̰̰̙̘̰̪̏̋̓̉͝o̲̺̹̮̞̓̄̈́͂͑͡ T̜̤͖̖̣̽̓͋̑̕͢͢e̻̝͎̳̖͓̤̎̂͊̀͋̓̽̕͞x̴̛̝͎͔̜͇̾̅͊́̔̀̕t̸̺̥̯͇̯̄͂͆̌̀͞ it is an obvious win.). Even when it doesn't quite work... (I think I'm back to "fuck Unicode" now.) |
