The section on consonant shifters in the Khmer section of the Unicode standard
(page 647 of Unicode 11 [1]) isn’t entirely clear on where the zero width
non-joiner should be placed to prevent a consonant shifter that’s followed by
an above-base vowel from being changed to a below-base glyph.

ECMAScript 6 fixed that, largely along the lines of my proposal:

On iOS, applications can and do install custom fonts for system-wide use,
although the installation user experience is pretty bad:

The part of the specification of the Universal Shaping Engine [1] that deals
with ZWNJ is a bit unclear, but I read it to mean that ZWNJ should not cause
the insertion of a dotted circle if the character following it has general
category Mn or Mc.
The USE specification says: "The zero-width non

RFC 7158 section 7 [1] provides not only the \u notation for Unicode code
points in the Basic Multilingual Plane, but also a 12-character sequence
encoding the UTF-16 surrogate pair (i.e. \u\u with 0xD800 ≤ <
0xDC00 ≤ ≤ 0xDFFF) for supplementary Unicode code points. A tool
It does allow some usage that may surprise code reviewers – for example, this
is a valid Swift program:
let s = "😄"
let s︀ = "😞"
let ︀ = "😉"
let all = s + s︀ + ︀
The value of the constant “all” is "😄😞😉". Or at least it is as long as mail
software doesn’t harm the variation selectors…

I recommend that people interested in the ECMAScript Internationalization API
read the actual standard or my introduction to it, and don't rely on Philippe's
interpretation.

Theodore,
Thank you for your feedback. Adding a warning to the description in
DataInput sounds like a good idea. In the meantime, if somebody wants
to use modified UTF-8 outside the Java context, please point them to

I know a number of you are curious about how the Java platform will
support the supplementary characters of the Unicode standard. The JSR
204 expert group, consisting of experts of ten companies, has today
published the Public Review Draft of its specification at:

Murray,
Yes, starting from J2SE 1.5 the Java programming language allows
supplementary characters in identifiers if they meet the specifications
of the new methods java.lang.Character.isJavaIdentifierStart(int) and
java.lang.Character.isJavaIdentifierPart(int).
Sorry for the late reply - until
The holographic strip on the Euro notes shows the Euro symbol when
viewed at certain angles.
