Unicode definiert über einhunderttausend verschiedene Zeichen, so daß neben den Sprachen des Planeten <a href="https://mastodonium.de/tags/erde" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Erde</span></a> auch Symbole oder Emojis darstellbar sind: Neben den üblichen Sonderzeichen europäischer Sprachen (<a href="https://mastodonium.de/tags/stichwort" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Stichwort</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonium.de/tags/umlaut" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Umlaut</span></a>) also auch etwa Japanisch.</p><p>Beim Thema <a href="https://mastodonium.de/tags/emoji" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Emoji</span></a> &amp; Co. stehen den fediversalen Beitragsverfassenden also jede Menge <a href="https://mastodonium.de/tags/emojis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Emojis</span></a> zur Verfügung, die über Unicode definiert sind. Wie man so ein Emoji (japanisch 絵文字) in einen Beitrag hineingefummelt bekommt, hängt vom Endgerät und der genutzten <a href="https://mastodonium.de/tags/software" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Software</span></a> ab. Es kann ein Menüpunkt sein oder auch eine Sonderfunktionen auf einer Bildschirmtastatur (Stichwort <a href="https://mastodonium.de/tags/smartphone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Smartphone</span></a>).</p><p>Gibt es Haken bei der Sache? Natürlich, wie üblich.</p><p>Zu beachten wären zumindest einmal folgende Punkte:</p><p>* Nicht jedes Gerät unterstützt alle aktuell definierten Unicode-Zeichen. Es kommen im Laufe der Zeit neue Zeichen hinzu. Je nach genutztem <a href="https://mastodonium.de/tags/betriebssystem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Betriebssystem</span></a> und dessen Version können daher Zeichen unbekannt sein. Dann fehlen diese Zeichen in der Anzeige bzw. werden durch Platzhalter ersetzt. So kennt etwa ein älteres <a href="https://mastodonium.de/tags/android" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Android</span></a> weniger Unicode-Zeichen als ein aktueller <a href="https://mastodonium.de/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a>-<a href="https://mastodonium.de/tags/desktop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Desktop</span></a>.</p><p>* Das genaue Aussehen von Symbolen und Emojis variiert. Unicode gibt etwa "Gesicht mit Schutzmaske" (FACE WITH MEDICAL MASK, U+1F637 (128567), 😷) vor, aber nicht die exakte grafische Umsetzung. Daher kann das Emoji auf empfangender Seite anders aussehen (bzw. dargestellt werden) als auf absendender Seite.</p><p>* Das Verhalten von Vorlese-<a href="https://mastodonium.de/tags/software" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Software</span></a> (auch "<a href="https://mastodonium.de/tags/screenreader" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Screenreader</span></a>" nach dem englischen "<a href="https://mastodonium.de/tags/screen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>screen</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonium.de/tags/reader" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>reader</span></a>") ist unbestimmt. Ob und wie grafische Unicode-Zeichen in Sprache umgesetzt werden, ist also eher als ungewiß zu betrachten.</p><p>Und jetzt einen Daumen hoch und ein cooler sonnenbebrillter <a href="https://mastodonium.de/tags/smiley" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Smiley</span></a>: 👍 😎</p><p>Zum Schmökern ins Thema bietet sich etwa die <a href="https://mastodonium.de/tags/wikipedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Wikipedia</span></a> als Einstieg an:<br><a href="https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode</span></a><br><a href="https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-8" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-8</span></a><br><a href="https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_Transformation_Format" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_Transformation_Format</span></a><br><a href="https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emoji" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emoji</span></a><br><a href="https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicodeblock_Smileys" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicodeblock_Smileys</span></a></p>
