Let's bust a myth that is a source of many subtle bugs. Are you sure that you can simply drop UTF-8-encoded text in char-based strings that expect ASCII text, and your C++ code will still work fine?| Giovanni Dicanio's Blog
How to *properly* convert Unicode strings to lower and upper cases in C++? Unfortunately, the simple common char-by-char conversion loop with tolower/toupper calls is wrong. Let’s see how to …| Giovanni Dicanio's Blog
I recently tried to implement a ranking algorithm, AllegSkill, to Python 3. Here's what the maths looks like: No, really. This is then what I wrote: t = (µw-µl)/c # those are used in e = ε/c ...| Software Engineering Stack Exchange

Why does JavaScript's parseInt treat keycap emoji as integers? Is it a bug, a feature, or perhaps both?| www.aleksandrhovhannisyan.com
The implementation of my unicode_algorithm library had barely started when I encountered a problem I had not considered at all. Unicode code points have a lot of properties for things like the character type, uppercase/lowercase mappings, bidirectional mirroring, and so on. The data is freely available and it would be easy to simply dump it into an array indexed by code point number (in the following called the naive array). However, code points have a valid range of 0x0 to 0x10FFFF for a tot...| Here Be Braces
While researching and brainstorming for a completely unrelated project idea I decided to attempt to write a Unicode library for std::string, the canonical string type in C++. This post is about why I made the decision and it develops a first draft for how such a library could be designed. …| Here Be Braces

最近，我们在 Github 的 Code Review 中看到 Github 开始出现下面这个 Warning 信息—— “This file contains bidirectional Unicode text that may be interpreted or compiled differently than what appears below.”也就是说我们的代码中有一些 bidirectional unicode 的文本，中文直译作 “双向文本”，意思是一些语言是从左到右的，而另一些则是是从右到左的（如：阿拉伯语），如果同一个文件里，即有从左向右的文...| 酷 壳 - CoolShell
