  • What you are experiencing is fairly common and caused by something regarding the application not supporting the character set. It could be missing fonts, a web page encoding, a function in the application, database, but we need a little bit more context.

  • Unicode, one code.

  • Does anyone know how I can fix an issue I'm having in which some characters/symbols come up as boxes? or question marks?

  • ಠ_ಠ

    

  • To follow up, the point of Unicode was the ability to expand the available code points without knowledge of the underlying storage medium.

  • God its very simple. Unicode has nothing to DO WITH 2-4 bytes!!. Unicode assigns code points to abstract characters An abstract character is not a graphical glyph but a unit of textual data. Each abstract character can be joined with another character using (zero width code point joiner) to make up a composite graphical glyph. The storing of the Unicode (code points) is done by using encoding. The encoding can be UTF-8, UTF-16, UCS-2. The point is the encoding has nothing to do with UNICODE!

  • Yeah man. Thanks for this bro. Upload more videos, please.
