  • TgM: unicode tables

    Hi Brother!

    Hmm, my smiley entered in the Telegram message, got changed to a
    '?' on the fidonet side. That changes the meaning of what I
    wrote. :-(

    Unfortunately, emoji are transmitted as unicode characters, which do
    not match in CP866 and other 8-bit encodings. To recode them
    "manually", I need to create my own complete conversion table. This is
    not part of my plans for the rest of my life. ;)

    Can you use the tables that GoldEd uses?

    What does it take to write a table? Is it something that needs to be designed in 1's and 0's or hex? I have skill in octal. LOL

    You could start with a small table, only translating the most used emoji's. [ ;-) :-) :-( ] Would cover probably 95% of the ones used.

    The shorter versions too: ;) :) :( :/ :O ..etc

    If they have their own unicode table entry...

    Bye, Wilfred.
