UTF-8? Anyone?
- BeyoncÃ©
  
  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.
  
  So... she's running DD-WRT :P
- UTF-8 Random anyone?
- Security bad.
  
  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
- Compose e ’
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
- 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.
Bey-once
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?
Same woman?
- right wing?
