Japanese pronunciation of hex digits?

2000-06-29 Thread rampshot

How do the Japanese read the hex digits A thru F? I have a pretty good idea
how they probably write them. Although, there are so many Han characters out
there I wouldn't be surprised if someone came up with Han characters for
powers of 16, complete with pronunciations.

Mixing languages on a Web site

2000-06-29 Thread rampshot

I am mixing Japanese and Turkish letters on my site.

1) How do I convert Latin-* text to UTF-8 text?
2) How do I convert Shift-JIS text to UTF-8 text?
3) How do I mark text as UTF-8?
4) Will people actually be able to SEE BOTH the Japanese AND the Turkish?
5) Is there a little "formatted in Unicode" logo I can put on my site?
6) Is there a "Unicode Help" site so people like me don't have to post these
questions on lists like these?

I bet 1 and 2 could be done with CGI scripts, and 3 is trivial.

The Roman numerals for dozenal digits??

2000-06-28 Thread rampshot

Only if you call "V" the same glyph as "5"
I want the new digits to be:
U+218A DUODECIMAL DIGIT TEN aka TURNED DIGIT TWO
U+218B DUODECIMAL DIGIT ELEVEN aka REVERSED DIGIT THREE
Don't worry; I'll be filling out the form in my best cursive :)
The reason I chose these codepoints is because they end in the hex digits for
ten and eleven. I think that this is the most logical place to put these new
characters.

Phonetic?

2000-06-28 Thread rampshot

Exactly what constitutes a phonetic sound, besides being made by a human
being? I mean, clapping isn't phonetic, is it?

Looking up han characters

2000-06-28 Thread rampshot

How do I look up a han character if I don't know its codepoint? What if all I
have is its shape, or its EUC-JP or Shift-JIS number? There are a couple I
want to see.

U+2640 and U+2642 (with only one circle). Maybe this is a canditate

Fill out the forms, Torsten.

Please show me the forms. I might want to add a few letters myself.

Do you have these characters?

2000-06-27 Thread rampshot

Has Unicode, by any name, the two mutant digits in the attached file?
If not, I want to add them. (No, not add them to get dozenal 19, I know that's
what they add up to; I mean add them to Unicode!)

Okay. I'll see what I can do.

If this paint program will cooperate, maybe I can make images of those
characters.

Gender symbols

2000-06-25 Thread rampshot

I'd think a down-pointing triangle would be for the LADIES' room, for obvious
reasons
How about male and female Nidoran at a Pokémon convention?
Once in a book I saw a top hat and top of a cane for the men's room and a fan
for the ladies' room.
I would suggest the digits 0 and 1, except then I would have a thousand heel
marks on my body.
Anybody else got ideas?
