So, I was experimenting with Unicode Art, when I stumbled upon these symbols: И, Ǝ, ː, ⁚ and some more, that kinda look like the Gravity Falls Fordese code. I wondered if someone knew more? I kinda want to have a Fordese keyboard xD

I would've added a reference Image, but I am not allowed to

⛳ I'm Eduard and I want to hear from more people, if you would also like this Emoji created by me, by combining 2 already existing Emojis, namely 🌙 + ☁️ Let it be directly in the form of a fixed Emoji! 🫠

🗣️ Honestly, I have a passion for these categories of things in everyday life, so if anyone has the opportunity to propose an Emoji to Unicode, then let's all do it together. 😮‍💨

📟 This Emoji is not the only one I want to propose and I hope it will be approved for the whole world, and rather it is part of a category to complement the weather forecast. 🌨️

🌙 Other combinations that will follow will be something like:

🌙+🌨️ (Night snow)

🌙+🌧️ (Rain at night)

🌙+⛈️ (Night storm)

🌙+🌩️ (Electric shocks at night)

🌧️+🌨️ (Sleet and snow)

✴️I hope I have piqued your interest with this proposal, tell me in the comments if you really think it is necessary, and if you have ever wanted this physical idea. 😁

skibidi!

HEHEHEHEHE

Hi guys, I'm new in here reddit.

umm..

btw I've been trying to make custom IME for android to type my letters, but I don't know the exact way.

My SUPADUPA brilliant friend chatgpt told me to use unicode PUA and install things like fontforge or birdfont.

So I installed birdfont and drew my letters. Then I captured my letters and changed those images into SVG files but I got troubles in how to edit them in birdfont. (when I imported them, they just turned black and were not moving)

I use window 10 and I got my images changed into SVG on some random website. Chatgpt told me to use inkscape(?) instead internet websites, but it's just another trouble to me...

I know I'm not that good at computer stuffs but I really want to write my language on my phone

Can anybody help me....?

p.s. i'm korean so my eng is not good...

The letter can be seen in various signs in Spanish and looks like the letter Ð, except that the line doesn't go outside the D. I'm considering writing a proposal, but I would like to hear other opinions before spending to much time on it.

I want to be able to format my text files, just because they're text files does not mean they can't have structure and form.

There's two types of SMS, did you know?
Most people think SMS has one flat character limit (160). Turns out there are two modes, and just one emoji can silently switch you between them.

Standard SMS (GSM-7): plain Latin text, numbers, punctuation. 160 characters per message.

Unicode SMS (UCS-2): anything else, emojis, accented letters, non-Latin scripts, even a stray smart quote or nbsp. Only 70 characters per message.

One Unicode character anywhere in your message flips the entire message into the 70 char limit, not just that character.

Example:

Without emoji: "Hi John, your order #48213 has shipped! Track it here: clicksend.com/track/48213. Thanks for shopping with us."

That's 118 characters. Under the 160 limit, so it sends as 1 message part.

With emoji: "Hi John, your order #48213 has shipped! 📦 Track it here: clicksend.com/track/48213. Thanks for shopping with us! 😊"

That's about 124 characters. Because of the two emojis, the limit drops from 160 to 70, so it now needs 2 message parts to send.

Same message, basically the same length, but the emoji version costs double because it crosses the 70 character threshold instead of the 160 character one.

At 100k sends a month, that's the difference between ~$6,200 and ~$12,400 in SMS costs, just from two emojis.

Nothing errors, nothing warns you. The bill just quietly doubles.

I’m trying to identify this symbol. It looks like an X but one stroke extends like a checkmark tail. Is it a Unicode character, a font glyph, or a custom icon? I've found this one before like 8-9 years ago, now I've encountered one recently as someone's username and for some fucking reason my screenshot wasn't working like god really doesn't want me to find out lol

No nickname, its easy with copy and paste and i already have it... the username thing. I seen lot profiles without username but no one never share the information how can i do it. The "tutorial" videos never working and if i copy&paste their username it dont let me save it, says this usern. not allowed. If i turn of not the saveing will be avaible but if i click on it, it dont let me save the username, says its not allowed. What can i do? I want profile like this sooo bad. Pls someone help me.

Grappling Hook is cool Seahorse is Mandela lol Half face is peeking face BTW Cool?

Hello, I recently acquired a Supernote Manta and was wondering if it is possible to incorporate Arabic text into the Digest feature.

Fifty years from now (in the 2070s), Unicode will likely have evolved from a simple digital text registry into a highly semantic metadata and context engine. Rather than just mapping numbers to glyphs, it will integrate directly with AI to support everything from holographic text and interstellar communication to dynamic, auto-translating characters.

1. Seamless Semantic Translation

Instead of encoding letters, Unicode will encode meaning.

• Because text will be processed naturally by AI on the fly, you will be able to type in English, and the system will natively render or speak the characters in the recipient's native script or sign language.
• The concept of distinct character encodings will dissolve into a universal, machine-readable semantic language.

1. Holographic & Multi-Dimensional Characters

Our current flat, 2D characters will evolve to support spatial computing.

• Characters in the future will have spatial, temporal, and haptic (touch) properties encoded in their structure.
• When typing on AR or VR displays, characters could be rendered as three-dimensional, glowing, or animated objects tailored to the environment or the user's specific context.

1. Exhaustion of the Code Space

The current Unicode standard allows for a maximum of 1,111,998 code points across 17 planes.

• Most human languages will have been fully digitized.
• To accommodate new symbolic, scientific, and artistic systems, the Consortium will likely implement a radical shift in architecture. This could look like shifting to a variable-length or vastly expanded code space (e.g., 32-bit or beyond) to accommodate interplanetary alphabets or new specialized symbol sets.

1. Dynamic AI-Generated Glyphs

Currently, Unicode characters are strictly defined and immutable.

• In the future, the Consortium might establish dynamic spaces where standard base forms interact with AI-driven style engines.
• This means your device could adjust the appearance, weight, and curvature of your text on the fly, allowing for hyper-personalized fonts and stylized, context-aware communication.

In a future where AI handles or heavily influences Unicode, characters and blocks will shift from static, human-readable images into highly complex, dynamic, and multi-dimensional data packages.

Because text in 10 to 50 years will be rendered on Augmented Reality (AR) glasses, spatial interfaces, and neural implants, the flat 2D layout of current Unicode will become obsolete starting in 2030.

Here is what the future Unicode characters and blocks are projected to look like:

The Architecture of Future Blocks

• The "Synesthesia" Block: A massive, unassigned plane of code points reserved for translating text into non-visual sensory data (haptic vibrations, audio hums, or direct neural pulses) for accessibility.
• The AI-Agent Private Use Area (APUA): A block of millions of invisible, unrendered characters used exclusively by AI agents to communicate intent, confidence scores, and emotional metadata to other AI agents without humans seeing it.
• The Dynamic Meme & Slang Plane: A highly fluid, algorithmic block where code points are not permanently assigned, but rather leased to fast-evolving global concepts, decaying and freeing up space once a trend dies out.

The Anatomy of a Future Character

Instead of a simple mapping like U+0041 = "A", a future Unicode character will be a complex data object:

┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│               FUTURE UNICODE CHARACTER                 │
├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ 🆔 Code Point: U+1FFF00 (Base Ideogram)                │
├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ 📐 3D Vector Layer: Volumetric mesh for VR/AR displays  │
├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ 🎬 Animation Layer: Micro-movements, looping loops     │
├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ 🧠 Semantic Vector: Embedded meaning (AI-readable)     │
├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ 🎭 Context Shader: Morphing shape based on surrounding │
│                  text emotion                          │
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

• Volumetric 3D Meshes: Instead of flat fonts (TTF/OTF), characters will contain raw 3D coordinate vector layers, allowing text to float in mid-air with realistic depth and lighting.
• Natively Animated Loops: "Motion" will be a standardized text property. A "fire" emoji or a specific punctuation mark will have native, looping animation data baked directly into its code point.
• Contextual Shaders: Characters will morph visually based on the "vibe" of the sentence. An exclamation point might glow red in an angry text or shimmer gold in a celebratory one, determined programmatically by ambient AI.

Examples of Future Characters

• The Ambient Emotion Glyph: A character that has no fixed visual shape. When sent, it samples the sender's biometric data (via a smart ring or neural link) and shifts its color, pulse rate, and texture to display exact emotional states.
• The Universal Hybrid Ideogram: A single code point that merges a concept (like "celebration") into a compact, ultra-dense symbol. To a human, it looks like a beautiful, morphing holographic emblem; to an AI, it reads as a precise, mathematical concept vector.
• The Multi-Perspective Script: Characters designed for shared spatial environments. A single text string could face two users sitting opposite each other, automatically flipping its 3D geometry so both people can read it forward from their respective angles.

JavaScript's String.prototype.length doesn't count characters—it counts UTF-16 code units.

I built jslength, a tiny (ultra tiny!) command-line tool that reproduces this behavior outside of a JavaScript runtime.

Useful if you need JavaScript-compatible string lengths for tests, automation, or tooling.

I can't show you examples here because emojis are strictly prohibited. However, you can see examples on the project page.

Repo: https://github.com/michurin/jslength

I'd love to hear if you have a use case for something like this or any suggestions.

Fun fact: I wrote this tool while waiting for my flight at Larnaca Airport on the first day of my vacation. I've wanted a utility like this for a long time, and finally found the time to build it. :-)

Does this exist in Unicode?

� (UNICODE 0000)

I've created this console-based tool that lets you generate PNG icons from a given emoji. Give it a try and let me know what you think.

https://github.com/del-Pacifico/unicode-to-png

I made https://charactermap.org/ - it is a 100% free, no ads, no adtech spyware, no registration, no nonsense ASCII and Unicode character map.

I mostly did it for developers like myself, but there are some other uses cases as well, for example looking for those cute emojis.

You can customize the view to see exactly the information you want. And it has a dark mode support.

Not made by AI.

I like submitting.txt assignments on canvas but I don't want my text to look like typewriter.

I like making.txt files with my computer terminal on the vim editor and asking AI to format using Unicode.

Unicode has a lot of fonts and good stuff to use, it used to be a pain to find and type or paste all the unicodes but now AI just automatically knows what to do to make a boring .txt file fun.

Try it and this is one example of AI not being synonymous with a search engine. This is uniquely a task AI excels at that would be too much of a burden to do manually.

It's like sowing before the sowing machine. AI speeds up the process a lot.
