New in the CJK Variations utility of Unicopedia Sinica:
- Support for the latest Ideographic Variation Database (IVD 2025), adding the new CAAPH Collection.
- Support for the updated BabelStone Collection (unregistered), based on the latest BabelStone Han font (v17.0.0 BETA), by Andrew C. West (魏安), 1960-2025 RIP (安息吧).
It’s 2025 and:
- There is still no vertical text site mode for #Wikimedia in any language using vertical text.
- #Wikipedia still forces “simplified” Chinese on browsers.
- There is still no true IDS or CangJie composition matrix for characters in #Unicode.
- SignWriting still has no proper #Unicode inclusion, no IDS analogue, no inventory of signs, and is still mostly written by mouse drag and drop in a mishmash of SVG and HTML.
- There is no proper SignWriting IME, such as a Rime schema.
To say this state of affairs is cultural propaganda by mass technic inertia would be an understatement. Infotech is functional colonialism. Thats really all there is to say.

Updated my unilookup utility. It now accepts unicode strings on stdin as well as a command line parameter. Can be installed directly from PyPi. https://github.com/fastjack/unilookup

Es ist 2025 und überall kennt und nutzt man #unicode und #utf - außer in diesem hartnäckig sich weigernden Kino namens #filmpalast in #karlsruhe
Got a bug report for @novelwriter from someone who uses Cuneiform text in their work. These are 4 byte Unicode symbols, and turned out to be very tricky to handle.
The app is built with Python, which will switch a string to UCS-4 when it contains such characters, so the characters always have a single index in the string.
However, the Qt library uses UTF-16. That means 4-byte characters use two slots, creating a mismatch in indices between the two representations.
No Electron support for the latest Unicode version is a major hindrance for my open-source Unicopedia Plus application, which I have to keep in Beta version for a long time because of that...
Interesting to see letters like ,

proposed for inclusion in Unicode!

TIL that in #Unicode, U+23BE through U+23CC are a series of symbols dedicated to the notation (?!) of dentistry

@doctorwhom Ha! At The Mag, remember Ops got this filtering software and we decided to see if we could break it? Tox added an "@" before the <html> tag.
Browser totally rendered the page but filter wouldn't parse it because of the At
I think it took us three hours?
@argv_minus_one there are a surprising number of moving pieces here, but as with all things #Unicode a lot of it boils down to "the UCD stores relevant properties and software interprets those"
I don't know the entire story, but my touchpoint for this are CJK numerals like 一, 二, 三
Those cannot be converted as decimals or digits, but they *do* have a numeric value
In Python:
```
>>> import unicodedata
>>> unicodedata.decimal("三")
...
ValueError: not a decimal
>>> unicodedata.digit("三")
...
ValueError: not a digit
>>> unicodedata.numeric("三")
3.0
```
For CJK specifically this is probably related to the fact that these are often combined with other glyphs multiplicatively, and there are plenty of non-decimal glyphs.
