UTF-8: The Secret of Character EncodingBert Pattyn
The document discusses character encoding standards like ASCII, UTF-8, and UTF-16. It explains that UTF-8 uses 1-4 bytes per character and has become the standard for XML and web content. The document raises questions about choosing the right encoding based on the characters, software, and browsers used.
Character encodings map characters to binary representations using code points. Unicode is a widely adopted standard that assigns unique code points to characters. It is divided into planes with 65,536 code points each. UTF-8 is a common encoding format that uses variable-length octets to represent code points efficiently. While Unicode supports many languages, some criticize its complexity and that it does not include all possible scripts.

Character sets and collations are am important part of the database setup. In this presentation I show you the history of character sets and how they are used today, how UTF-8 works and how MySQL handles all this.
Unicode is a character encoding standard that supports many languages. It defines a large set of characters and assigns a unique numeric code to each one. Unicode also defines UTF-8, UTF-16 and UTF-32 encoding schemes to represent these characters using 8, 16 or 32 bits respectively. UTF-8 is most commonly used as it is backwards compatible with ASCII and uses fewer bytes for common Latin characters. The goals of Unicode are to provide a universal character set that defines the semantics of all characters and can support all languages.
This document discusses Unicode transformation attacks and provides examples of how applications can be manipulated. It covers how Unicode lets systems support multiple languages, how characters are assigned unique numbers, and examples of lookalike characters. It also describes how data can be encoded to disguise malicious code, examples of bypassing filters by changing case or using lookalikes, and real world examples like compromising Spotify and Twitter accounts by creating usernames with special characters. The document recommends ways to prevent these issues, like canonicalizing input and performing security checks after decoding.
This document presents a summary of work on automatic language identification (LiD) from speech signals. It discusses how LiD could benefit various industries and outlines challenges in the problem.

This document discusses character encoding systems used to represent textual data in computing. It describes several character encoding standards including ASCII, EBCDIC, ISO 646, ISO 885, and UTF-16. ASCII is a 7-bit encoding that can represent 128 characters and was limited as it does not support languages with large character sets. EBCDIC is an 8-bit encoding mainly used on IBM mainframe computers. UTF-16 is a 16-bit Unicode encoding that can represent over 65,000 characters and supports representation of text in many languages.
This document discusses using bootstrapping techniques to automatically create training corpora when manually annotated data is not available or too expensive. It describes translating an existing English sentiment corpus to Spanish as an example. The process involves translating the English examples, training an initial classifier, classifying new Spanish examples to build a corpus, manually correcting errors, retraining the classifier, and repeating the process with a lowered classification threshold. Similar techniques are outlined for bootstrapping a phrase extractor, including starting with a part-of-speech tagged corpus, annotating phrases, training taggers and chunkers, correcting errors, and adding to the corpus through iteration.

This document provides an overview of Unicode and character encodings to avoid corrupting international text. It discusses:
- The difference between bytes and characters, noting that characters are often multiple bytes wide and an encoding is needed to interpret byte sequences as character sequences.
- Common mistakes like assuming a default encoding, mixing bytes and characters, and not specifying an encoding which can lead to text being corrupted when read by systems using different encodings.
- Encoding issues that can occur in different languages and file types like text files, HTML, XML, if an encoding is not properly declared or honored.
The key lessons are: you must know the character encoding to interpret byte sequences correctly, and bytes and characters should not be
This document provides an overview of new features in PHP 6 and the intl extension that improve support for internationalization and localization. Some key points include:
- PHP 6 includes full Unicode support throughout the engine, extensions, and API using the ICU library.
- The intl extension includes classes for collating and sorting strings, formatting numbers and currencies based on locales, and transliterating between scripts.
- New text iterator and text transform classes allow powerful linear and chained processing of Unicode text.
- Streams support automatic encoding conversions for reading/writing files in different encodings.
- Functions like strtoupper() now perform proper locale-aware case mappings.

Unicode, PHP, and Character Set CollisionsRay Paseur
In recent years UTF-8 has become the dominant character encoding scheme, supplanting extended ASCII. This has led to an uneasy transition for users of PHP, where the assumption has always been that one character equals one byte. This presentation is for the DC PHP Developers' Community meeting on September 10, 2014. It examines the history of character set encoding and the ways that the PHP community is responding to the transition to UTF-8. Not surprisingly, there are surprises in the process! The slides are derived from the article here:

Except UnicodeError: battling Unicode demons in PythonAram Dulyan
This document provides an overview of Unicode and how it is handled in Python. It discusses Unicode encodings like UTF-8, common Unicode errors and how to resolve them. It also covers Unicode normalization, ensuring proper ASCII-only strings, and libraries that can help with Unicode handling in Python like unidecode and chardet.
RubyConf Portugal 2014 - Why ruby must go!Gautam Rege
The document discusses the Go programming language and how it differs from Ruby. It provides examples of Go code demonstrating type declarations, embedded types, exported variables and functions, and variable redeclaration. It also discusses some concepts in Go like interfaces, channels, and concurrency that are different from Ruby. The document suggests that Go teaches programmers awareness about variables, types, and errors that can improve Ruby code.
This document discusses Unicode, character sets, and how they are handled in software. It begins by explaining how characters are represented differently in ASCII, ISO-8859 character sets, and Unicode. It then describes the UTF-8, UTF-16, and UTF-32 encoding forms for representing Unicode characters as sequences of bytes. The document also discusses how Perl and MySQL handle character encoding and converting between different encodings.
1. Unicode is an international standard for representing characters across different languages. It allows websites and software to support multiple languages.
2. When working with Unicode in PHP, it is important to use UTF-8 encoding, and extensions like intl provide helpful internationalization functions.
3. Common issues include character encoding problems between databases, files and PHP strings, so ensuring consistent encoding is crucial.

The document discusses tools and processes to improve localization for video games. It recommends performing font analysis, pseudo-localization, and internationalization passes early on to detect issues. It also advocates for constant validation and translation consistency checks to reduce bugs. Further, it suggests audio validation and providing a localization-friendly pipeline and centralized string database solution to facilitate collaboration between teams. The goal is to improve quality while reducing costs, bugs, and wasted resources associated with localization.
The document discusses developing websites for TV. It notes that text input, navigation, and page loading can be painful on TV due to the interface. However, TV development is similar to mobile development in that pages need to be adapted for a smaller screen. The document recommends using media queries to target CSS for different screen sizes, like those of common TV resolutions. It provides an example media query for text size that could be used to optimize a website for viewing on a TV.
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: What Happened to Unicode and PHP 6Andrei Zmievski
n the halcyon days of early 2005, a project was launched to bring long overdue native Unicode and internationalization support to PHP. It was deemed so far reaching and important that PHP needed to have a version bump. After more than 4 years of development, the project (and PHP 6 for now) was shelved. This talk will introduce Unicode and i18n concepts, explain why Web needs Unicode, why PHP needs Unicode, how we tried to solve it (with examples), and what eventually happened. No sordid details will be left uncovered.
2010 was the year of web typography—the year new technologies came online that will forever change the way information appears online. As the dust settles from the advances of web fonts and CSS3, a new style of web typography is emerging, one that reflects print origins, but is also experimenting with the unique strengths of online communication. Learn about recent advances in technology through case studies at the boundaries of online typography. See how to use the new web typography to set your work apart from the rest of the herd.
The document discusses web typography and webfonts. It begins with questions about the number of digital fonts and fonts commonly used on the web. It then covers topics like webfont formats, building font stacks with @font-face, sources for obtaining webfonts like conversion, purchase or using a web font service bureau, and popular retailers of webfonts. The overall topic is an introduction to using and working with webfonts.
The document contains notes from a talk on quality Ruby code. Some key points discussed include:
- Tests alone do not improve code quality - the code itself needs to address quality issues through approaches like linting, exception handling, and code reviews.
- Quality code is molded through a healthy code review process, uses good naming conventions, has a low "wtf" ratio, handles exceptions properly, and follows other best practices.
- When handling exceptions, it is best to rescue the most specific exceptions, retry logic as needed, raise exceptions with context, and avoid method_missing when possible. Avoiding exceptions through techniques like nil checking and block resource management is also recommended.
- The document discusses leaving Microsoft Word for other writing applications that are better suited for web writing and collaboration. It highlights issues with Word's copy/paste functionality for the web and lack of version control.
- Several alternative applications and formats are mentioned, including text editors, writing apps, note-taking apps, and Markdown/MultiMarkdown, which allow writing in plain text and converting to HTML.
- Markdown is presented as a simpler formatting syntax compared to HTML, allowing bold, italics, lists and links to be written easily without tags. MultiMarkdown adds more features like footnotes and tables.
1. The document discusses internationalization and Unicode support in PHP, covering topics like encodings, locales, formatting numbers and dates for different languages, and database and browser considerations.
2. It provides an overview of PHP extensions and functions for internationalization, including Intl, mbstring, and Iconv, and discusses their strengths and limitations.
3. Examples of internationalization practices in popular PHP frameworks and applications are examined, highlighting both best practices and common pitfalls.
1) The document discusses typography and improving readability on the web. It provides tips for font size, line height, whitespace, and contrast to make text easier to read.
2) Examples are given of classic web fonts like Times New Roman, Arial, and Verdana as well as newer Vista fonts like Segoe UI, Corbel, and Calibri.
3) The emergence of the @font-face technique in 1998 and its current implementation with Webkit browsers is covered, noting it enables easy font embedding but also piracy possibilities. The presentation concludes with thanks to the audience.

Graspan: A Big Data System for Big Code AnalysisAftab Hussain
We built a disk-based parallel graph system, Graspan, that uses a novel edge-pair centric computation model to compute dynamic transitive closures on very large program graphs.
We implement context-sensitive pointer/alias and dataflow analyses on Graspan. An evaluation of these analyses on large codebases such as Linux shows that their Graspan implementations scale to millions of lines of code and are much simpler than their original implementations.
These analyses were used to augment the existing checkers; these augmented checkers found 132 new NULL pointer bugs and 1308 unnecessary NULL tests in Linux 4.4.0-rc5, PostgreSQL 8.3.9, and Apache httpd 2.2.18.

Hand Rolled Applicative User ValidationCode KataPhilip Schwarz
Could you use a simple piece of Scala validation code (granted, a very simplistic one too!) that you can rewrite, now and again, to refresh your basic understanding of Applicative operators <*>, <*, *>?
The goal is not to write perfect code showcasing validation, but rather, to provide a small, rough-and ready exercise to reinforce your muscle-memory.
Despite its grandiose-sounding title, this deck consists of just three slides showing the Scala 3 code to be rewritten whenever the details of the operators begin to fade away.
The code is my rough and ready translation of a Haskell user-validation program found in a book called Finding Success (and Failure) in Haskell - Fall in love with applicative functors.

In this webinar we'll explore Flutter and its architecture, delve into the Flutter Embedder and Flutter’s Dart language, discover how to leverage Flutter for embedded device development, learn about Automotive Grade Linux (AGL) and its consortium and understand the rationale behind AGL's choice of Flutter for next-gen IVI systems. Don’t miss this opportunity to discover whether Flutter is right for your project.
Character Encoding & Unicode - How to (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ with dignity
1. ODE TO A SHIPPING LABEL!
by Carlos Bueno!
!
Once there was a little o,!
with an accent on top like só.!
!
It started out as UTF8,!
(universal since '98),!
but the program only knew latin1,!
and changed little ó to "ó" for fun.!
!
A second program saw the "ó"!
and said "I know HTML entity!"!
So "ó" was smartened to "&ATILDE;&SUP3;"!
and passed on through happily.!
!
Another program saw the tangle!
(more precisely, ampersands to mangle)!
and thus the humble "&ATILDE;&SUP3;"!
became "&AMP;ATILDE;&AMP;SUP3;"

1. Know your encodings
2. Use the Unicode sandwich
3. Test your (text related) code
