academic Unicode experts


Today I find an academic Unicode expert who has the very errors he warns of in his own web page and who fails to declare the char‐encoding of that page : Unicode quote marks !

I suggest supplementing what he says with the advice on Unicode quotation in languages other than English :  wp.

But if the PC is not a typewriter – and only programmers need ASCII ` ' and " – then why not TEXT keyboards for users and APL‐style programmer keyboards for those who script, hack and program ?

As for hyphen and dash, those topics are linked in the wp article in its right‐side panel.
