Putting emoji in unicode was a mistake.
@arguil Well, for one, 32 bits were supposed to be more than enough to accomodate any past, present and future writing systems, even fictional ones, but, thanks to emoji, we have almost run out of codepoints already.
@josemanuel@qoto.org @arguil@framapiaf.org @wolf480pl@mstdn.io it's not even close to 32 bits
each plane is 16 bits, and there's 17 of those (for encoding of ~20 bits of codepoints (limitation because of UTF-16)), and currently 10 of them are entirely unused and two designated as private use areas.
There's still a fuckton of space to add characters.
@ignaloidas You obviously missed the rest of the conversation, spongeman. Go soak in it and, of course, feel free to correct me if you still think I'm wrong.
@josemanuel Hey no need to insult my friend!
The fedi tends to be bad at showing the same set of replies to everyone, the argument @ignaloidas seems to have missed is:

@wolf480pl I didn't mean it as an insult. He's the one who called himself “information sponge”! But, still, I'm sorry.
@josemanuel @ignaloidas @arguil
oh, right, information sponge. Guess I overreacted
