NO. PLEASE DON'T. This wreaks havoc especially on East Asian users because Unicode is poorly supported in console on top of being binary non-canonical in both entry and display. Meaning, - :potato: OR :potatoh: may display as :eggplant: OR :potato:
- isEqual(`:eggplant:`, `:eggplant:`) may fail OR succeed
- trying to type :sequence: breaks console until reboot
- typing :potato: may work but not :eggplant:
- users don't know how to spell :eggplant:
- etc.
If you must, please fix Unicode first so that user entry and display would have 1:1 relationship. I do have Han Unification in mind, but I believe the problem isn't unique to the unification or East Asia. |
