Unicode: What is this?

In 1984, I was very suprised to see the computer that my brother was using at his office. The printer head of the printer that printed data was very interesting to me
because it was in dot dot ....and he explained me how that 9 (?) pinned printer head
prints the texts. The dots were clearly visible. Next time, I reached to my undergrad.
university in India (now, turned to be an IIT), I was surprised to see the punching
card. Then, I saw Lotus 1-2-3 and then, highquality printer. I gradually came to know
few fonts: courier, and times + helvetica .... I saw Adds in Lotus 1-2-3. When I returned to Nepal after undergrad, I was further puzzled by friend of mine who
showed me the laser printer with courier fonts. In AIT, Bangkok I saw Lotus manuscript, but, had to spent a lot time to write or find symbols and equations. I saw PostScript printer and postScript fonts. Well, I saw Thai
fonts in computer and also saw Japanese characters in Jap. computers. Laser
Printer was accessible only after special permission of a Sri Lankan Play Boy like Teacher who used to be kind to girls, but, was not so kind to male students.

Well, I then moved to Japan. I saw here japanese computer, terribly occupied by dumb NEC computers with Japanese DOS, that could not read 1.4MB floppy diskettes. Then, my Guru ji asked me what kind computer do you like to buy for your research. I selected Macintosh for my desk work. I got it and wow, I was able to find many nice TTF fonts. true type fonts including PostScript Printer. Gradually, I saw MS Windows 3.1 . I saw many japanese fonts. and a font list in MS Word made for Macintosh. Later I got list of various fonts and a Nepali TTF font. Well, we used that font to write new years greetings and fun use. Unfortunately, the fonts were trouble maker whenever the data was passed in internet. When I started reading news and other items posted in internet in Nepali fonts, we could not read them, because we needed the particular font. So, there needs to separate font for separate language. It has become terrible when we have to post things that have several languages in one page or one document file. Everything looked a cluster of corrupted text in random english characters.

Probably the program/software developers and writers, realized this problem long time back, and they wanted to put all characters around the world in one table in one file, so that necessity of downloading and identifying type of font associated with the corrupted looking cluster is avoided. The idea of Unicode is based on unified character tabling, such that 64,000 characters can be put in one file, in opposite to the ASCII table where we can have just 128 characters, and in extended character table of 256 characters. without Unicode, TTF represents only those 256 characters, and if the things were written based on Preeti font, and if our computer does not have Preeti.TTF, then we will find corrupted cluster of characters, because it is shown by another font, may be in Times Roman.TTF.

So, original ascii had only 128, 1 byte characters, while the extended table has 256 characters that means FF (16X16)in Hexadecimal codes (2byte?) . So, it has table of 16 rows and 16 columns. In Unicode, you have 256 rows and 256 columns, i.e. about 64,000 elements in the table (256x256 = four bytes: FF x FF), that can accomodate 640000 characters. Thus, all major languages can find space.

It can accomodate all 64K characters in font file, but, you might be wondering how can you create 64K characters with keyboard of about 100 keys, that is even less than good enough for original ASCII 128 characters. Thats why they call it GLYPHS to unicode font set. In that table, we need a program that can convert the 4codes hexacodes into character it represents in that 256x 256 table. In that table 0901 is starting point for Devanari characters, and in HTML code if you write &2325; it represents Ka, and in Unicode escape mode \ u 0915 . How to get that 2325, math is here: 0 x (16x16x16) + 9 x(16x16) + 1 x 16 + 5 . You can find the Hexacodes at http://www.unicode.org/

So, we need to have translator i.e. asdf;lkj should mean Ba-Ka-Ma-T-Na.... This is different from conventional Preeti font, where A-S-D-F was directly converted to BaKAMaANa via Preeti.TTF, but, in Unicode, we have to tell the position of characters we typed as Nepali, in unicode table, so that it does not have to find separte font, but, its correct position in the table. So, Unicode is like a table of different languages where conventional fonts were put in that table bundled/zipped in a single file.

I hope it works. I am not a professional in computer science, so my posting is what I had perceived as a common public who learned for his own use.

HahooGuru AKA (Dr. Gyaneswor Pokharel) Ji,
As I found info. related to you, you also deserved to list in "the Most Accomplished Nepali's in Japan".

Cheers HahooGuru, love to see more achievement and discovery by U and all fellow Nepali.

Congrat..
:)

12 वर्ष रामायण पढ्यो सीता कसकी जोइ?

यो थ्रीड सब हेर्दा पनि मैले उत्तर पाउन सकिन।
What is their accomplishment?

But I found other inforation about GyaNex or other things.
Hahoo Sir, Kahile ho answer aaune?

HahooGuru,

Can you please tell me the full name of Dr. Manandhar please.

PHD = permanent head damage

hehe

Six Strings? classification of Primates is based on social, moral, and entertainment values.

Class 1: Superior Being*
Humble, Charming, little or no religious conscience, love party, love social events, love opposite sex, what the hick love any sexes. Education??? Not important as long as the basic needs of life are accomplished.
Last Word for this being: Party on !!!

Class 2: Not Human*
Rude, egocentric, over-achiever with hollow head (those with tons of cash, multiple degrees PHD, MA, MS, BS, BA bullsh*ts who think rest are insignificant creators)
Last Word for this being: Shove it !!!


* Classes are classified in purely unscientific way. Views may not reflect majority of viewers? view. Six Strings does not advocate nor will hold responsible for any misbehavior carried out by reader upon reading it. Party ON!!!

Hey HG, are you a retard or what? Every other person in this thread is asking that question. Don't you see it? If you don't then let me put it for your again:

WHY ARE THESE PEOPLE ON THE LIST? WHAT HAVE THEY DONE? NOT ALL THE PEOPLE WHO VISIT THIS THREAD ARE IN JAPAN. PLEASE ENLIGHTEN US!!!!!

And please give concise to the point answers. No need to blabber like you did in the unicode question. Dude, did you even get the question he was asking? He asked what unicode is and not your ramkahani about how are you such a computer nerd!

.Omoshiroi Threado !!

Guys...............don't dig the grave..........this post was posted in 2002............seems like million years before............right now.....for me....I am the most accomplished (sp?) in here in the US....aight?

Couldn't understand why everybody are after Hahoo Guru. What did he do wrong ? Can't u do any healthy discussion ? Damn u guys....

HAHoo GurU,
TAPAI TA KASTO PADEKO MANCHE. KATI WATA REFREED PAPER LEKNU BHAYO AJA SAMMA (EXCLUDING ARTICLES PUBLISHED IN NEPALI JOURNALS) TAPAI KO SUJECT MA. KITAB-SITAB PANI LEKNU VAEKO CHA KI??

.Pade_Queen_no.1,
without publishing papers in int'l journals (peer reviewed), it's not easy to get a Ph.D. degree in Japan. However, it depends in which field of study you are in, and what is the minm. nos. of publications REQUIRED !!!!

Furthermore, presenting papers in int'l/national conferences is another good job. So, I do believe, HG might have got done with lotse publications. And, more, getting Post-doct in US and working as a researcher is not a cup of tea (respect him ACADEMICALLY).
If you belong to research area, i hope you know it better.

Also, publishing articles in NEPALI JOURNALS is not a bad thing too. You are sharing your research-work done to Nepali fellow and Nepal. Will it be considered as a bad work ?

prem charo, u missed out on something

Neural,
Please don't take me wrong, I just wanted to know more about the academic acheivements of HAHOO_GURU.

I am just a novice, unlike you guys. I have some SATHIBHAIs who have written 10-20 conference papers, however, they have published not even a single peer-reviewed article. In my opinion, attending conferences and doing poster presentation or giving a talk on your research work really doesn't matter, what you need is to publish papers in reputed journals, if your goal is to win funding after finishing your PhD. Otherwise, how can you be on your own? And, if you want to be an assistant prof in some university, then again you need to show that you have enough enough funding, otherwise, who is going to take u. You don't want to spend your whole life as a Post Doc, do you?

From the postings above, we got to know that GURU is one of the most accomplished nepali and we are proud of him. So its obvious that I would like to know more about him.

Lastly, I am not trying to belittle our Nepali Journals- Nepali bhasa ma tyati MITHAS Chaina kya, Tyasaile nepali ma ekdha Naramro, naramro sunincha.

Nepali bhasa ma nithas chaina re.... Duh!
Timilai ke mitho mitho sunnna paryo hey stri... malai bhana... tirmro manokamana purna garaidiula....
Just coz one doesn;t know how to use the language properly... doesn't give them right to term it as desiccate.
