The unexpected complexity of characters (Unicode, UTF-8, UTF-16, UTF-32, Glyphs, Fonts)
Hello, before making videos about string algorithms, I wanted to talk about characters, how they are encoded in a binary format, what are ASCII, EBCDIC, and Unicode. What is UTF, and how UTF-8, UTF-16 and UTF-32 works. I also wanted to know how fonts work, and how characters are printed on a screen!
This is an introduction before the real stuff, I hope you will enjoy it!
