  • Assessment of Options for Handling Full Unicode Character Encodings in MARC21 a Study for the Library of Congress
    1 Assessment of Options for Handling Full Unicode Character Encodings in MARC21 A Study for the Library of Congress Part 1: New Scripts Jack Cain Senior Consultant Trylus Computing, Toronto 1 Purpose This assessment intends to study the issues and make recommendations on the possible expansion of the character set repertoire for bibliographic records in MARC21 format. 1.1 “Encoding Scheme” vs. “Repertoire” An encoding scheme contains codes by which characters are represented in computer memory. These codes are organized according to a certain methodology called an encoding scheme. The list of all characters so encoded is referred to as the “repertoire” of characters in the given encoding schemes. For example, ASCII is one encoding scheme, perhaps the one best known to the average non-technical person in North America. “A”, “B”, & “C” are three characters in the repertoire of this encoding scheme. These three characters are assigned encodings 41, 42 & 43 in ASCII (expressed here in hexadecimal). 1.2 MARC8 "MARC8" is the term commonly used to refer both to the encoding scheme and its repertoire as used in MARC records up to 1998. The ‘8’ refers to the fact that, unlike Unicode which is a multi-byte per character code set, the MARC8 encoding scheme is principally made up of multiple one byte tables in which each character is encoded using a single 8 bit byte. (It also includes the EACC set which actually uses fixed length 3 bytes per character.) (For details on MARC8 and its specifications see: http://www.loc.gov/marc/.) MARC8 was introduced around 1968 and was initially limited to essentially Latin script only.

  • Emoji Art: the Aesthetics of 
    Emoji art: The aesthetics of P.D. Magnus January 2018 This is an unpublished draft. Comments are welcome. e-mail: pmagnus(at)fecundity.com web: http://www.fecundity.com/job Abstract This paper explores the possibility of art made using emoji (picture characters like the pile-of-poo glyph in the title). That such art is possible is apprarent from some specific examples. Although these cases are of- ten described in terms of “translation” between emoji and English, emoji cannot generally be given a literal natural-language translation. So what kind of thing is an emoji work? A particular emoji work could turn out to be (1) a digital image, like an illustration; (2) a specified string of emoji characters, in the way that a natural-language novel is a specified string of letters; or (3) a single-instance work, a particular display. keywords: emoji, emoji art, Emoji Dick, emoji poems, art ontology Emoji are picture characters familiar from smart phone text messages. Given their ubiquity, it is inevitable that emoji have been used in works of art. What kind of art are they, though? I begin in §1 by discussing the history of emoji. One of the more notable emoji is the pile of poo which figures in the title of this paper. In§2, I consider the meaning of emoji and argue that there is not generally a natural-language translation for emoji. In §§3–4, I discuss some specific works of emoji art: Fred Benenson’s Emoji Dick and Carina Finn and Stephanie Berger’s emoji poems.

    SSAC Advisory on the Use of Emoji in Domain Names SAC095 SSAC Advisory on the Use of Emoji in Domain Names An Advisory from the ICANN Security and Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC) 25 May 2017 SAC095 1 SSAC Advisory on the Use of Emoji in Domain Names Preface This is an advisory to the ICANN Board, the ICANN community, and, more broadly, the Internet community from the ICANN Security and Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC) on the use of emoji in domain names. The SSAC focuses on matters relating to the security and integrity of the Internet’s naming and address allocation systems. This includes operational matters (e.g., pertaining to the correct and reliable operation of the root zone publication system), administrative matters (e.g., pertaining to address allocation and Internet number assignment), and registration matters (e.g., pertaining to registry and registrar services). SSAC engages in ongoing threat assessment and risk analysis of the Internet naming and address allocation services to assess where the principal threats to stability and security lie, and advises the ICANN community accordingly. The SSAC has no authority to regulate, enforce, or adjudicate. Those functions belong to other parties, and the advice offered here should be evaluated on its merits.
