Re: [Tagging] Tagging fraction house numbers?

I think Google, at least, is aware of it and made a decision not to use the ½. In another project, I gained some experience with their mapping API, and the lack of ½ (and bis, etc.) caused some headaches when trying to geocode addresses. For your example, trying to resolve 40½ Rue de Carillon give

I found it hard to pull out usage of "1/2" through taginfo, but was able to search for usage of the UTF-8 version (½): https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/search?q=%C2%BD#values It's used very few times (~200) and many are by the same user, which seems like more argument against using UTF-8. On Mon,

Actually, that can easily happen if you have 1½ but some software wants to convert it to simple ASCII and doesn't add a space between the 1 and 1/2 when converting the ½. While if the original text already is "1 1/2" this doesn't happen. Obviously, in a perfect world, where everything is Unicod

Re: [Tagging] Tagging fraction house numbers?

so far the fractions I've seen are ½ and ¾ and ¼. On phones it's very easy to input fraction in unicode(press and hold the numerical value of the numerator: 1 for ½, ¼ or 2 for ⅔), but I agree that dealing with Bom of UTF-8 usually ends up being messed up and is why I'm asking what the norm for OSM

Technical: Unicode will be hard to manipulate by hand without a table of characters/symbols to copy from. Subsequent editors or users down the chain of tools will break it. Most prominently, search may break, because users will not know how to input 1/2. (Oh look, I just didn't, either...). Is i

I think I may have used surface=tartan before but I am not sure this is actually correct. While they are both rubberized surfaces, I think tartan is much firmer since its purpose is to facilitate traction, not avoiding injury from falls. Toby On Mon, Mar 12, 2018 at 8:13 AM, Andy Mabbett wrote:
