UTF-16 and -32 suck to work with. You don’t get null bytes in UTF-8!
I honestly can’t understand why this site is still broken. I’d have fired the developer long ago and replaced him.
It’s not hard—if the first bit is set, it’s a multibyte character.
I considered donating my time; however, I’ve done some calculations (posted here for critique) and the running costs for this site appear to me to be advertised as much higher than they should be. I do donate time, but am not going to do it if FR’s web dev is sitting around doing nothing while getting paid.
Although critical reaction was initially mixed, "Bohemian Rhapsody" remains one of Queen's most popular songs and is frequently placed on modern lists of the greatest songs of all time.
Why can’t we get a system fix on this?
You’re kidding, right? This is the only site on the web where we have to go to that much trouble to quote even another FR post? No, for the donations we should receive legibly typed posts. I am no coding expert but surely there are some around here who could fix it. If the donations are for upkeep, I think it should be covered. If they need extra because this is a super bad problem, please let us know and we will give extra just to have that fixed. I love FR and it would be worth it.
..‘Straight’ quotes?? That’s homophobic...
Homophonetic?
