Furthermore, I chose to have my Unicode identifiers written in CJK (Chinese, Japanese and Korean scripts. My aim was to replace all these ASCII identifiers with Unicode identifiers. How good is the support and how far can one go? I chose one of my html code files, which apart from, all the identifiers are ASCII identifiers: ASCII Javascript variable names, ASCII Javascript function names and ASCII CSS class and id names. Many programming languages now support Unicode identifiers. It is so cool to be able to write document.getElementById('小山'). My standard working practice is to now have the start html tag of my code files as. I recently decided to identify my html code files with my adopted Chinese name 小山. I have just tested using an Egyptian Hieroglyph ( /U+13001) as a variable name and it works fine. A letter of the Egyptian Hieroglyphs script.

There are of course exceptions, such as, Apple's Swift programming language which allows use of Emoji in program identifiers.Įgyptian Hieroglyphs have the Unicode general category Lo Letter other. The basic principle of Unicode identifiers in a programming context is that the characters used in a Unicode identifier should belong to some human language script. When programming I sometimes use Unicode identifiers instead of ASCII identifiers. Goryeo 고려 (the first 2 characters of this Korean IDN) is the name of an old Korean kingdom en./wiki/Goryeo 고려대학교.한국 is the Korean IDN for Korea University. I recommend you browse through their fans section, which you will find at 판촉통.한국/product/cate_mid.php?cate=11300 판촉통.한국 has 7 pages of fans 부채 and some of them are very beautiful. and here is a link to the tweeted tweet /andreschappo/status/936633558923440128 Before tweeting I replace the ASCII Domain Name with the Korean Domain Name 판촉통.한국. Fortunately, this problem can be easily fixed. The important and relevant issue here is that the Domain Name in the composed tweet is ASCII instead of Korean. Each product has photos and a twitter sharing button which when clicked results in the site composing a tweet which has a link to the product. 판촉통.한국 (7th in the above list) is a Korean site selling promotional merchandise. The IDN shows in the address bar and is correctly integrated into the navigation which means the site is using relative addressing which is also a good thing😀 The TLD (Top Level Domain) 한국 means Korea. They do not require the prefix Single script Domain Names are a good thing. They do not redirect to an ASCII Domain Name. I have listed them because they are good examples of well integrated IDNs. Below are a set of Korean IDNs (Internationalised Domain Names).
