Well, crap. I made a long nerdy post about the fun you can have now that computers support multi language alphabets. But checking an older machine shows that for many the future is not here yet. Here instead is a link to the Firefox v3.0 beta.
Computer programmers have recently realized that the rest ꇎ of the world 흇 sometimes use different letters than we westerners do. ᖩ It can often be kinda devilishly ቾ hard to work with -- enough to make a programmer run screaming ጿ -- but I've found something that makes it all worth it: a ㋛ dramatically ꎃ richer ꆲ set ꂮ of ꃔ emoticons ༀ.
Your computer my not have achieved oneness with the world. If it looks like someone took a giant dump on your screen, I will refrain from making a smug mac guy comment and just point to this Unicode fallback font or this renderer.
The following glyphs will help you bring this trite dot.com artifice into the next millenium. Save into a file on your desktop, then cut and paste when you ICQ or update your live journal.
happy ㋛ ジ シ ꃔ ꒉ
unsure ᖩ ꎃ
amused ꂮ
surprised ꂇ ꇎ
BORED NOW ꍞ

Yes, this is all very nice, but how do I tell the hobo I'm IMing about the rich man who owns that house? Or the awesome hedge maze in this town?
