     @feld @chas And normalizing capitalization can be a mess so I guess they just don't bother.

     @chas someone clearly was lazy copy/pasting from a document, probably their bank statement or something

     @chas @feld I also tend to but I've had at least one case of misencoding with a letter, I typically write my city in full ASCII but here they had completion.
     At least it was city name with the classic of é ending up as é so I think post office had no issue correcting it, a personal name would be more problematic and I'm glad mine entirely fits within ASCII.

     @lanodan @feld this is why I stick to graphemically simple stuff 😂

     @lanodan @feld my problems were from when I was building a TUI and writing text justification handlers.

     Someone was like "that's cool but does it handle grapheme complexity?" And the question broke me.

     Once I familiarized myself with the problem I realized it was a rabbit hole I didn't want to plumb and I haven't been able to work on the project since because it threw me so far off kilter.

     Written language sucks

     @chas @feld Haha yeah, that's probably the other reason why the interface/library for doing TUIs is called "curses".
     
     And also why while I love TUIs so far I've always ended up either keeping on pure CLI or going to GUI/Web to nicely shove the problem at someone else.

     @lanodan @feld I was trying to write a replacement for a popular go tui and I figured out supporting flex-like arrangements (ratio sizing etc) to use for dashboards and stuff. Unfortunately between several competing issues, and the person who really wanted me to finish it for his company dying, well I'm sure I'll get back to it eventually lol.

     I had several use cases for it myself, notably a now-abandoned LTE/5G antenna alignment tool (no longer use that for home Internet)
