    That is quite a unique quip. I love the idea of geo-based rendering, every application that renders text needs location access to be strictly correct :D.

    I’d go further with the codepoint reduction, and delete w (can use uu) instead, and delete k (hard c can take its place)

      To unjerk, as it were, it was a thing. So on old systems they’d do stuff like represent æøå with the same code points as . Curly brace languages must have looked pretty weird back then:)
