  So... UTF-8 interpreted as ISO-8859-1? You have failed Unicode college >:(

- Sorry, no, but I can support it in UTF-16.

- Maybe she was sick of trying to get a terminal displaying utf correctly.

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.

34
- 0-127, top bit is always 0.
  
  27
  
  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.

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

11
- dunno if it's the same character but alt+130 has been firmly drilled into my brain from my entire Pokémon childhood.

Yeah let's drop wide characters, it was a bad idea. Let's simplify.. also let's convert all porn back to ASCII art.

She's like the opposite of Prince

- That symbol has a unicode, "The Love Symbol"

  Not true.
  
  the Prince symbol is not eligible for inclusion in Unicode, which “does not encode personal characters, nor does it encode logos.”

I want to join the C-hive

...what? To support ASCII...? I'm confused. Isn't ASCII literally made for those kinds of letters?
