Fun fact, "the underlying Xerces parser used by most systems never implemented XML 1.0 fifth edition" (which was released in 2008). It is not uncommon for implementors to decide not cover new features that is lesser of their interests. Also, UTF-8 is **not required** to handle surrogate by Unicode standard and Rob Pike has said in a relevant golang thread: > It's correct to reject them https://golang-dev.narkive.com/4Zves5rC/surrogate-halves-and-utf-8 which also explains the rationale of the Plan9 code. la-ninpre> best regards, la-ninpre> la ninpre. --- ldbeth -- 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T8384b8174eb88096-M50e3a04b5272c6334c10d2af Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
Re: [9fans] Trouble compiling "Hello, world"
Can you check `ns | grep amd64' to confirm if you have bind some other directory to /amd64? Because I've just checked on 9p.sdf.org and libc.a is in there. --- LDB -- 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/Te178b97d94173ff8-M432a73867946358c635c4f18 Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription

RIME was popularized because most other Pinyin based IMEs on the market suck for traditional Chinese input, for these IMEs' suggestion dictionaries were usually directly substituted from simplified Chinese versions, but mapping simplified Chinese to transitional Chinese is very context sensitive. The byproduct of RIME is the OpenCC https://github.com/BYVoid/OpenCC library that can handles all the trivia of these kinds of translation. The SC support for RIME was contributed by community, I think, and the author of RIME uses Cangjie. Cangjie was not officially designed for simplified Chinese but was extended to be able to handle that. I heard rumors that the author refused to add a switch to prioritize simplified Chinese characters for Cangjie in RIME, so an external dictionary is used if users want to have that behavior. --- LDB -- 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/Tba6835d445e07919-M7654c6f7091bf0a32c7e3bca Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
