Re: Unicode in the Curriculum?

I agree to a certain extent with Julian. There are extremely many subjects industry surely would like computer science students to learn in college, and internationalization/Unicode is only one of them. On the other hand, I think that universities teach about integer and floating point

Aw: Re: Turned Capital letter L (pointing to the left, with serifs)

I have looked up some printed sources and I agree with Michael Everson and Frédéric Grosshans that the beast in question is a variant of the greek letter tau (capital or lowercase).   Here are the relevant sources I consulted:   Carl Faulmann: Das Buch der Schrift. Enthaltend die

Re: Unicode password mapping for crypto standard

I would specify that UTF-8 must be used, without mapping. US-ASCII is a proper subset, so need not be mentioned explicitly, nor distinguished in the protocol. Mappings would require that all implementations carry relevant data, and are up to date to recent versions of Unicode, or else

Re: Turned Capital letter L (pointing to the left, with serifs)

And given the context of use on the document, where it is a measurement of time in seconds (it is a mean daily time drift, if you don't read German), some variants of T/Tau is certainly a best option. The other variables in the additive formula were also related to time and where also based on
