A test of character
ASCII silly question get a silly ANSI
ASCII What’s wrong with it?
• Actually called US-ASCII
• [a-zA-Z0-9] + …
• It uses 7 bits not 8 bits
• Defining 128 ‘characters’
• Not defining the other 128
• Just about covers English script
• Minimum level of interoperability
CJK and font encoding for other languages
• Upper 128
• Completely different often 2-byte encoding
• Standards? Often not
Wingdings, Tengwar, etc.,
Encoding for symbols fictional languages and
silly things.
J and L
Email with
‘J’ and ‘L’
Quotation Marks and Apostrophes
• Dumb quotation marks "…" x22 (34th)
• Dumb single quotation marks '…' x27 (39th)
• Smart quotation marks “…” u201c…u201d
• Guillemets français «…»
• Grave Accent…apostrophe `…'
• Grave Accent…Acute Accent `...´ x60…u00B4
• Heavy double turned quotation mark ornaments ❝…❞
u275D…u275E
Unicode
1,114,112 possible characters
Evolving standard
“Face with a look of triumph”
😤
• Wait what?
Encoding
• Multibyte
• 1 byte space for 256 things
• 2 bytes space for 65536 things
• 3 bytes 16,777,216
• 4 bytes 4,294,967,296
• UTF encodings
• UTF-16 – two bytes
• UTF-32 – four bytes
• Variable size
• UTF-8 can encode lots of things
UTF-8
• 00000000 – 0111111 (just like ASCII)
• 11000000,10000000 – 11011111,11111111
• U+0080 – U+07FF
• 11100000,10000000,10000000 – 11010000,11111111,11111111
• U+0800 – U+FFFF
• 11110000,10000000,10000000,10000000 – …
• Bigger code points
• Now we can encode things and not break (old stuff) {much}
The good stuff
• Good stuff
• Room for everything
• CJK fits
• Hieroglyphs fit
• Emojis fit

Hiding code
Names names names

• Punycode
• www.géant.org -> www.xn--gant-bpa.org
• Inserting into existing software …
The Bad stuff 2
