Re: Why incomplete subscript/superscript alphabet ?

I’m with Michael on this. The obvious use case is text messaging, which has no higher protocols to leverage. -steve > On Sep 30, 2016, at 11:26 AM, Michael Everson wrote: > > On 30 Sep 2016, at 08:07, Jukka K. Korpela wrote: > >> Apart from

Re: Joined "ti" coded as "O" in PDF

This discussion seems to have fizzled out, but I’m concerned that there’s a real world problem here which is at least partially the concern of the consortium, so let me stir the pot and see if there’s still any meat left. On the current release of MacOS (including the developer beta, for your

Re: Joined "ti" coded as "Ɵ" in PDF

Yes, it seems like your mileage varies with the PDF viewer/interpreter/converter. Text copied from Preview on the Mac replaces the ti ligature with a space. Certainly not a Unicode problem, per se, but an interesting problem nevertheless. -steve > On Mar 17, 2016, at 11:11 AM, Doug Ewell

Re: Concise term for non-ASCII Unicode characters

Exactly. I think the reason that non-ASCII feels non-concise is that there is widespread confusion between ASCII and Latin-1/ISO 8859-1 (which in turn is widely confused with Windows-1252). -steve Sent from my iPhone > On Sep 20, 2015, at 10:05 AM, Phillips, Addison

Personally, I love this idea, and would like to claim first authorship . Here’s a snippet from the email I sent to my old colleagues at Apple back on April 15th (not the 1st): > Hi, Apple iOS/Keyboard/Design//I18n folks, > > Just wanted to say, nice work on the new Emoji keyboard design and

Or a flag inversion modifier… recently I discovered that the Philippines flag, for example, has a special meaning (we are at war) when inverted. Just a thought. -steve On Jul 1, 2015, at 10:38 AM, Doug Ewell d...@ewellic.org wrote: dzo at bisharat dot net wrote: Whatever notation that

QR is actually in the so called user-assigned area, so unlikely it will be officially assigned, but also hard to standardize as anything in particular. -steve Sent from my iPhone On Jun 28, 2015, at 4:20 PM, Michael Everson ever...@evertype.com wrote: On 28 Jun 2015, at 23:02, Steve

Re: Adding RAINBOW FLAG to Unicode

Another way the Pride Flag might be mapped into Unicode without adding code points would be to use a REGIONAL INDICATOR SYMBOL pair corresponding to an unallocated ISO3166-1 alpha-2 sequence. U+1F1F6 + U+1F1F7, for example, might be an appropriate choice. Sent from my iPhone
