   Did you know that "opleiden" in Dutch means "supposed to be a Fenian outrage"?

     @th I think that in 2025 everything should have support for unicode

     I'm beginning to think this might not be the best study dictionary for my Dutch lessons. https://archive.org/details/abcuniversalcom00compgoog/page/n8/mode/2up?q=passg&view=theater

     Since it comes up all the time in normal conversations, Dutch also has a single word that means "If ordered from port of call to the Continent, 6d. extra per quarter grain or seed, and 3/6 extra per ton tallow for stowage goods".

     @valhalla the problem with unicode is that the SHIP section is very short and does not have have a way to easily send "ARRIVED HERE AT —, ENCOUNTERED A SEVERE GALE AND HEAVY SEAS, WHICH CARRIED AWAY BOATS AND WHEEL, STANCHIONS AND BULWARKS, BROKE MAST AND JIB-BOOM, ALL SAILS GONE"

     @valhalla @th

     I like the implication that All of the Cool Kids (firms) use *UNICODE*

     "
     with a list of prominent commercial firms who are Unicode users
     "

     Perhaps the next version will better accommodate the messages you two have.

     @th idea: a social network where you can only post using the ABC Universal Commercial Electric Telegraphic Code
