Modern Medley Interlisp can read and write files where 16 bit character codes are represented as UTF-8 byte sequences or UTF-16 byte-pairs, and convert from and to Unicode codes to equivalent internal Medley codes. For details see:

files.interlisp.org/medley/libra...

#interlisp #lisp #unicode

Ξ_obs = f(Ξ_src, Ξ_lens, ◉) ⋄ Ϟ ↑ ⇒ Ξ_obs ↑

∴ symmetry ∈ relation ✴️

#χ #◉ #Physics #Unicode ✨

Ξₙ = Δ(Ξₚ ⫽ ◉, Ϙₗ) ⋄ Δ_obs ⊄ ⟡

∴ Ξₚ ≠ Ξₙ ⟡ ✴️

#χ #◉ #MetaStructure #Unicode ✨

X_nested = D(X_p | χ_meta, Q_local) ⋄ D_obs ≠ complete

∴ X_p expressed ≠ X_p repeated ✴️

Good grief… OK I accept that #Unicode isn't trivially easy to process correctly, but there's no reason to get it wrong so badly and visibly in so many places. 🤷🏼‍♂️😮‍💨

GlassWorm malware hides in invisible open-source code A cybercrime campaign called GlassWorm is hiding malware in invisible characters and spreading it through software that millions of developers rely on

Why does "👩🏾‍🌾" have a length of 7 in JavaScript? 👩🏾‍🌾 is made up of 1 grapheme cluster, 4 scalars, and 7 UTF-16 code units.

A very nice analyse!

On the left, a giant table of exported and technical strings, formatted for ca65 assembly language. On the right, a python routine whose behavior can be summarized as, "scan for extended commands, and otherwise pass unicode glyphs through unmodified." On the screen, the resulting unicode is rendered in sitelen pona, except for the player's name. The font it uses isn't widely supported yet, so I'll transcribe in sitelen lasina instead: sina jan seme? 1. Zeta 2. lipu musi sin 3. lipu musi sin o ala e lipu musi o tu e lipu musi In English, this loosely translates as: Who are you? 1. Zeta 2. New Game File 3. New Game File Erase Game File? Duplicate Game File?

Oh my stars, it WORKS. I just rendered UTF-8 on an NES! Apparently ca65 can even handle UTF-8 strings by using .literal, so the resulting file with localized strings is shockingly readable.

I'm so happy right now! #programming #gamedev #unicode

It peeves me when someone says "Apple's releasing new emojis..." Show the #Unicode Consortium some damn respect!

The basic underlying problem is that coders and their tooling assume that code is mostly ASCII, when in reality it is Unicode, which most tools don't handle properly.

I've written up the process of getting those missing half-star symbols onto a web page by embedding a font that supports them.

It's definitely overkill for this use case, but I wanted to see what it would take, and I figured it was worth saving the information. If at some point I decide I need […]

Invisible Unicode Attack: Why Tooled AIs Are Vulnerable On your screen, it’s a boring trivia question: “What planet is known as the Red Planet?” Inside the model, that same line contains 96 extra characters your eyes never see, zero‑width spaces and non‑joiners encoding a different answer, or worse, a hidden command. That’s the invisible Unicode attack: the text looks benign to you, but to a tooled-up AI it’s an executable channel.

Invisible Unicode can hide commands in plain prompts. Moltwire's Reverse CAPTCHA shows tooled AIs can be hijacked. Read now. #Moltwire #ReverseCAPTCHA #Unicode
