Examples of Unicode in a sentence

  • One special value is ‘en@quot’, which can be used in a UTF-8 locale to have American error messages with pairs of single quotes translated to Unicode directional quotes.

  • Examples of such properties are: Casing information, Numeric information, Currency information, Display behaviour information such as line breaks, widths etc., Combining behaviour, Spacing behaviour, Directional behaviour, Default Collation behaviour, relevance in Mark Up contexts, Compatibility equivalence and other Unicode normalization related information.

  • See the Unicode standard at http://www.unicode.org for such information on other scripts.

  • Then there is the ‘Free UCS Outline Fonts’ project (https://www.gnu.org/software/freefont/) which are OpenType/TrueType fonts based on the URW fonts but with extended Unicode coverage.

  • It is possible to replace the OS’s collation support by that from ICU (International Components for Unicode, http://site.icu-project.org/), and this provides much more precise control over collation on all systems.

  • A string using double-byte Unicode characters can result in string elements whose actual size in bytes is larger than the stated length.

  • It is possible to replace the OS’s collation support by that from ICU (International Components for Unicode, https://icu.unicode.org/), and this provides much more precise control over collation on all systems.

  • Similarly, assembling or disassembling atoms using atom codes/2 interprets the codes as Unicode points.

  • Warning: Be careful with using Unicode text, as similar looking (or even identical) characters can have different code points and as such are encoded as a different byte array.

  • Unicode language support makes sharing files in different languages from Synology NAS simple.
