gollark: Unicode™!
gollark: Yes, that is actually B.
gollark: Advantages of 128-character full-charset names:- /view/n/ pages would still only hold one unique dragon- greater opportunities for creativity via use of anomalous Unicode- essentially infinite quantity of available names- can reuse names through use of invisible characters and/or homoglyphs- more efficient lyrical lineages - fewer dragons required per word- could store 2048 bits of data per name via base65536- can name them after people/things in other languagesDisadvantages:~~- cannot actually distinguish some names without a hexdump or something- pretty hard for people to actually use without knowledge of ridiculous Unicode stuff~~ none whatsoever
gollark: Yep!
gollark: "Bob" and "Bοb" for instance.
