Hey! A new blog post!

https://blog.codepoints.net/emojis-under-the-hood.html

Emojis under the Hood

in which I explain how #emojis are composed on the #Unicode code point layer, and what funny effects that sometimes has.

With notable mentions of work by @CharlotteBuff, @Edent, @eevee, @mathias, and @emojipedia.

by @addison

This document is a trove of knowledge about string processing and what can go wrong with regard to #Unicode features like normalization.

Well, yes, technically one could name TN27 that way...

😁 no-one is perfect, and that sometimes collides with Unicode’s stability policy. TN 27 is the transparent way to handle that conflict.

My single character domain name is coming up for renewal.

Trying to work out if I can transfer it to a cheaper registrar.

#Introduction

Hello Fediverse! At long last I finally made it here, too.

This account is here to talk all things #Unicode, script‍s, encodings and languages, and as shortcut for you, if you want to give feedback on https://codepoints.net.

That website is there to help you make sense of the Unicode standard, so if you have feature ideas, just drop me a toot!

Apart from that I love to learn strange and niche news about everything related to written (and sometimes even spoken) language.
