Some fun with Unicode characters/fonts
Since I encode this site with utf-8, I've been finding out all sorts of fun with unicode fonts. And what can happen when cutting/pasting "text" between different encodings.
For instance:
㋛ — ㋛㋞ — ㋞㋡ — ㋡㋥ — ㋥〠 — 〠ੴ — ੴ
The first 3 look like happy faces/emoticons, the 4th looks like a neutral expression, and the 5th looks like another happy face.
The 6th looks like a mouse, which I really like.
Now I realize that these are actual characters in somebody's language, and they might take umbrage about me talking about how they look, or what I may end up using them for. All I can say, I'm sorry ahead of time, but I find them cute, and I'll use them as I like. :þ
At least I know the thorn isn't currently in use in English, so I can use that with impunity! Permanent link posted by bytehead @ 7/13/2004 02:53:00 PM
