![]() So for instance, if your browser is UTF-8, you can see me say “Thank You” in English and Chinese 谢谢 without any problems. That’s a long way of saying that you definitely want to use UTF-8 in your website and every thing. ![]() ![]() Having a font that displays all Unicode characters Pretty clever as long as you have a fast computer. The trick is to use variable encoding called UTF-8 so that characters that are frequently used only need 1 byte. Before Unicode, you had to know the Code page and the encoding (think of it like segmented memory), but with Unicode, you could just have one character set that was of course huge. ![]() I can remember distinctly, someone, was it Brian, I’ve forgotten his name, barging into my office explaining how important it was to move from Code Pages where Windows would switch from one character set to another to just have a 32-bit Unicode number and no switching. Unicode is a huge character set that is designed to include basically every character every invented by people. OK so this is a Monday question, for a long time I’ve just wanted Emoji’s inside Vim, so what are the considerations to make this work: Why you want everything in UTF-8įirst of all just to demystify, an emoji to a computer is just another Unicode character.
