I agree! There really should be no excuses at this point... you'd think.
Even in 2008 I already felt we were behind the loop, but apparently I was vastly underestimating how bigger companies just dgaf.
The standard itself is 7-bit, since wires were deemed more valuable than endpoint logic for the teletype machines way back then. If you're running it on an 8-bit byte machine you could do it either way, although I'm not sure what the point in parity checking individual characters is. Modern software uses 0.

UTF-8? Anyone?

So... UTF-8 interpreted as ISO-8859-1? You have failed Unicode college >:(
If only you knew how many huge companies have no fucking clue...
Their employees have failed Unicode college >:(

And here I was typing out
iso-8859-1like a scrub to make sure I wasn't misremembering the encoding when doing the analogous thing in python...Sorry, no, but I can support it in UTF-16.
Maybe she was sick of trying to get a terminal displaying utf correctly.
So... she's running DD-WRT :P
Myths.
What did i just read
Yeah I think I'm OOTL, can someone explain?
I think the simulation is broken again.
Wait Beyonce is a blonde white woman now? Is this what they mean when they say “it’s a different kind of white?”
It's just skin tone, with the right lighting and color grading we all just look like people
0-255 was good enough for me an my grandpappy.
0-127, top bit is always 0.
i thought the top bit was originally 0 or 1 depending on the evilness/odiousness of the rest of the number, as a parity check.

Damn big-endians always looking down on the rest of us.
Just like pokemon
Good ol'
Alt+1``3``0.I guess Beyonce has no love for Extended ASCII.
or AltGr + ' + e I love this shortcut
Composee’She must be running out of ideas.
You've been able to do diacritical marks with ASCII for over thirty years. It's already standard. alt+0233
She's like the opposite of Prince
I want to join the C-hive
Same woman?
right wing?
