It is probably looking for a character encoding from wordlistfile. wordlistfile = open(wordlist,”r”,encoding=’utf-8′) Or, if you’re working on a line-by-line basis: line.encode(‘utf-8′) EDIT Per the comment below and this answer. My answer above assumes that the desired output is a str from the wordlist file. If you are comfortable in working in bytes, then you’re … Read more
Why do we need Unicode? In the (not too) early days, all that existed was ASCII. This was okay, as all that would ever be needed were a few control characters, punctuation, numbers and letters like the ones in this sentence. Unfortunately, today’s strange world of global intercommunication and social media was not foreseen, and … Read more
ASCII defines 128 characters, which map to the numbers 0–127. Unicode defines (less than) 221 characters, which, similarly, map to numbers 0–221 (though not all numbers are currently assigned, and some are reserved). Unicode is a superset of ASCII, and the numbers 0–127 have the same meaning in ASCII as they have in Unicode. For … Read more

The UTF-8 BOM is a sequence of bytes at the start of a text stream (0xEF, 0xBB, 0xBF) that allows the reader to more reliably guess a file as being encoded in UTF-8. Normally, the BOM is used to signal the endianness of an encoding, but since endianness is irrelevant to UTF-8, the BOM is … Read more
This has to do with how the String type works in Swift, and how the contains(_:) method works. The ‘👩👩👧👦 ‘ is what’s known as an emoji sequence, which is rendered as one visible character in a string. The sequence is made up of Character objects, and at the same time it is made up … Read more
𝙎𝙞𝙢𝙥𝙡𝙚𝙨𝙩 ℞: 𝟕 𝘿𝙞𝙨𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙩𝙚 𝙍𝙚𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 Set your PERL_UNICODE envariable to AS. This makes all Perl scripts decode @ARGV as UTF‑8 strings, and sets the encoding of all three of stdin, stdout, and stderr to UTF‑8. Both these are global effects, not lexical ones. At the top of your source file (program, module, library, dohickey), prominently … Read more
Stand-alone utility approach iconv -f ISO-8859-1 -t UTF-8 in.txt > out.txt -f ENCODING the encoding of the input -t ENCODING the encoding of the output You don’t have to specify either of these arguments. They will default to your current locale, which is usually UTF-8.
image files and python source (version 1 and 2) Version 1 Here is my first attempt. I will update as I go. I have got the SO logo down to 300 characters almost lossless. My technique uses conversion to SVG vector art so it works best on line art. It is actually an SVG compressor, … Read more
