unicode

I don't want to see them included in Unicode but I see more arguments for logos in Unicode than for emojis.

It's not, jameshart just learned about something which has been an issue in reversing unicode text since 1991.

So extending a text control to support unicode, images and expressions, would seem more logical than shoehorning shift-jis, which is not a human written language, into unicode.

Well it would actually because that's how emoji were first integrated in unicode in the first place.

Great, let's spend brain cycles building into unicode icons used by phone carriers in one country.

There is a certain irony to Unicode releasing an update that adds support for modern hieroglyphics.

Does Unicode only accept characters which are in an already standardized or widespread character set?

The more they add to, or mess with (depending on one's perspective) Unicode the more it risks becoming an attack vector.

Everything in Unicode can be reasonably changed to another text color, except for emojis.

And how, for example, this feature will be brought into an existing Unicode parser.

Emoji might charitably be called an extension of punctuation, but some of the stuff that ends up in the Unicode spec seems pretty crazy.

Because Unicode standard is so simple and boring as it is already.

Also, let us not forget what Bruce Schneier said: "Unicode is just too complex to ever be secure." Maybe it would be a good idea to stop spiraling the complexity out of control??

The thing is, emojis were being used (appeared in the 90s), and spreading (how many people used various tricks and hacks to "unlock" emojis in older iOS versions despite not being in Japan?), so the unicode consortium could either standardise it, or see the number of proprietary extensions increase further and less and less people give a flying fuck about their registry.

If you're looking for a little puzzle to do, write a code snippet (in any language) that converts the word "hiring" into decimal Unicode points and then concatenates their decimal representations back into a string.

You should be thinking about how this feature interacts with every other feature implemented in Unicode.

Unicode covers all the characters for all the writing systems of the world, modern and ancient.

This is my opinion about including emoji in Unicode, not the skin color modifiers.
