Do you happen to have a link to the proposal I can see and share with a class? I'm teaching a few lectures about some "weird" stuff this semester, and this would be a great example.

Started as a firefox bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1555275

Then moved to unicode CLDR: https://unicode-org.atlassian.net/browse/CLDR-13106

FWIW searching https://rachelbythebay.com/w/ for "magic" finds a bunch of posts that might also fit with that topic.

(The rest of the posts are an interesting rabbithole if you're not aware, apologies in advance)

I ran into a problem formatting numbers in the Italian locale back in 2014: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/langpack-locales/+...

It turned out to be a low-level bug in glibc: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10797

It got fixed five years later, long after I had worked around it and left the job where I found the bug.

Well, that's going to be a very cool class I best !
