Unicode is dangerous and must be stopped

1. Unicode by itself is fine, since it allows more than just American english characters.
2. Emojis were added to Unicode because it was a necessity for the Japanese market, it's not an American thing.
3. Why the fuck do you make a fuss about something you shouldn't even have to care about, retard.

>1
yeah it's a good idea in theory but very dumb in practise, the issue being that language is first spoken, then written, and machine writing systems all seem to have issues with that
>2
well apparently Japanese dislike unicode
>3
wtf are you talking about ?

>1
btw not really, more like you can't represent every thing you want to say within a specific number of characters, that's more what I was thinking

Is this guy seriously retarded or what?

>tolerating faggotry
I bet you tolerate computer errors too.

You are free to design your own emojis and have an automatic rifle replace the water pistol. If you are that upset go develop your own standard that's supposedly better, freetard. But I assume you are too busy jerking off to anime.

lol look at this carelord

>You are free
For now. For some reason faggots don't like other people's freedom even though we gave them the freedom to be faggots.
I know a small portion of fags are not like that, but they're increasingly becoming a minority.

He is.

Unicode has nothing to do with spoken language. It's a method to put in every single possible written sign/communication method on a computer and keep it universal between computers.
>2
Why would the Japs care about how their characters are encoded? Or are you still confused between Unicode and Emoji. Smartphones in Japan never caught on without the adition of Emoji, so why would they hate them, unless you're talking about the "political" choices the consortium has decided to make, in which case, take it to Jow Forums, that's not technology.

Stop being retarded.

Unicode flags aren't hard coded into Unicode, in order to make a flag emoji, you input several acronym letters that make up the acronym for the flag you want, and supported flags are now an implementation issue.
Because countries come and go, but Unicode is forever.

>water pistol
This is literally font-specific.

I wonder what they will do about

Didn't they add muzzie shit recently?

> Closet faggot detected
For the tiniest bit more data overhead compared to ascii which came about decades ago when computers were the size of ya mum.
For that we get a universal fucking encoding system that covers virtually every fucking archaic symbol possible known to man.
Go home retard, you're out of your fucking element here.

Shut the fuck up or we'll make you use ASCII for the rest of your life.

>In 1996, a surrogate character mechanism was implemented in Unicode 2.0, so that Unicode was no longer restricted to 16 bits. This increased the Unicode codespace to over a million code points
you don't need more characters than that do you?

>Water pistol
That isn't a problem with unicode or emoji, blame Apple for changing things unnecessarily in their infinite wisdom.

this thread is bait

>no gun
Unicode Character 'PISTOL' (U+1F52B)
Unicode Character 'RIFLE' (U+1F946)

>unicode is just america
holy fuck zoomer get off this board

I don't even understand what OP is crying about, why can't people make coherent posts?

>2. Emojis were added to Unicode because it was a necessity for the Japanese market, it's not an American thing.
why didn't they make it's like an addon thing

An addon thing to what? If it's not a set standard, the information will get lost, older Japanese cell phones that used emojis couldn't send them to non same brand devices. And in the beginning of emoji on smartphones it was an add-on for non Japanese iPhones. They've just made them available for everyone after their popularity broke out.

did kim kardashian really make gorilions of dollars off of emojis?

>Smartphones in Japan never caught on without the adition of Emoji
Emoji confirmed for glow in the dark plot.

He's French.

>>ameritards decide for the entire world how they should write their characters, what characters they can use
This is obviously false.

> Why would the Japs care about how their characters are encoded?

Because Han unification is retarded. For Japan, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRON_(encoding) is a better standard.

Also UTF-8 is a fucking blight and typical of the bullshit Bell Labs has put out over the years. It hackishly enshrines mediocrity by extending ASCII and then it tells the rest of the world to suck a dick with variable length encoding and the problems that entails.

UTF-16 is much nicer to work with.

>no gun for you abdel, take this water pistol while we bring democracy to your country :^)
That's Apple, mate. Every other vendor is just jumping on the bandwagon because every phone vendor wants to be Apple. Unicode itself doesn't specify what kind of "pistol" the U+1F52B codepoint is supposed to be.
In case you didn't know, Unicode just says "This number here represents this symbol. If you put it next to this special number, the two of them together should do this."
How they look and even how the 1s and 0s are actually encoded, is all up to implementation.

Couldn't know for sure, but the previous limit was somewhere around the maximum value of a 16-bit integer, or 65,536. Unicode 11 currently has 137,374 code points. Better to overshoot than under shoot.

>suck a dick with variable length encoding and the problems that entails.
Just use UTF-32.

Fonts do not need to cover all of unicode each.

But of course the up to four bytes that identify the symbol can't be meaningfully an addon. "1" or "a" or the great flaming turd emote or some moonrune would obviously just have one id each. A few even have multiple id despite similar looking glyphs, because they're not necessarily the same thing.
