<big><big>U</big>TF-8</big> is an ASCII-preserving encoding method for
55  
<a href="unicode.html">Unicode</a> (ISO 10646), the Universal Character Set
56  
(UCS).  The UCS encodes most of the world's writing systems in a single
57  
character set, allowing you to mix languages and scripts within a document
58  
without needing any tricks for switching character sets.  This web page is
59  
encoded directly in UTF-8.
60  
61  
<p>
62  
63  
As shown <a href="glass.html">HERE</a>,
64  
Columbia University's <a href="k95.html">Kermit 95</a> terminal emulation
65  
software can display UTF-8 plain text in Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, XP, Vista,
66  
or Windows 7/8/10 when using a monospace Unicode font like <a
67  
href="http://www.monotype.com">Andale Mono WT J</a> or <a
68  
href="http://www.evertype.com/emono/">Everson Mono Terminal</a>, or the lesser
69  
populated Courier New, Lucida Console, or Andale Mono.  <a
70  
href="ckermit.html">C-Kermit</a> can handle it too,
71  
<a href="http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/unicode.html">if you have a Unicode
72  
display</a>.  As many languages as are representable in your font can be seen
73  
on the screen at the same time.
74  
75  
<p>
76  
77  
This, however, is a Web page, which started out as a kind of stress test for
78  
UTF-8 support in Web browsers, which was spotty when this page was first
79  
created in the 1990s but which has become standard in all modern browsers.
80  
The problem now is mainly the fonts and the browser's (or font's) support
81  
for the nonzero Unicode planes (as in, e.g., the <a href="#braille">Braille</a>
82  
and <a href="#gothic">Gothic</a> examples
83  
below).  And to some extent the rendition of combining sequences,
84  
right-to-left rendition (<a href="#arabic">Arabic</a>,
85  
<a href="#hebrew">Hebrew</a>), and so
86  
on.  <a href="http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/fonts.html">CLICK HERE</a> for
87

The subtitle above shows currency symbols of many lands.  If they don't
92  
appear as blobs, we're off to a good start!  (The one on the end is the
93  
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_rupee_sign">new Indian Rupee
94

<li>The "I can eat glass" phrase and initial translations (about 30 of them)
594  
were borrowed from Ethan Mollick's <a
595  
href="http://hcs.harvard.edu/~igp/glass.html">I Can Eat Glass</a> page
596  
(which disappeared on or about June 2004) and converted to UTF-8.  Since
597  
Ethan's original page is gone, I should mention that his purpose was to offer
598  
travelers a phrase they could use in any country that would command a
599  
certain kind of respect, or at least get attention.  See <a
600  
href="#credits">Credits</a> for the many additional contributions since
601  
then.  When submitting new entries, the word "hurt" (if you have a choice)
602  
is used in the sense of "cause harm", "do damage", or "bother", rather than
603  
"inflict pain" or "make sad".  In this vein Otto Stolz comments (as do
604  
others further down; personally I think it's better for the purpose of this
605  
page to have extra entries and/or to show a greater repertoire of characters
606  
than it is to enforce a strict interpretation of the word "hurt"!):
607  
608  
<p>
609  
<blockquote>
610  
611  
This is the meaning I have translated to the Swabian dialect.
612  
613  
However, I just have noticed that most of the German variants
614  
translate the "inflict pain" meaning. The German example should 
615  
read:
616  
617  
<p>
618  
<blockquote>
619  
"Ich kann Glas essen ohne mir zu schaden."
620  
</blockquote>
621  
<p>
622  
623  
rather than:
624  
625  
<p>
626  
<blockquote>
627  
"Ich kann Glas essen, ohne mir weh zu tun."
628  
</blockquote>
629  
<p>
630  
631  
(The comma fell victim to the 1996 orthographic reform,
632  
cf. <a href="http://www.ids-mannheim.de/reform/e3-1.html#P76"><tt>http://www.ids-mannheim.de/reform/e3-1.html#P76</tt></a>.

You may wish to contact the contributors of the following translations

639  
<p>
640

641  
642  
<li> Lëtzebuergescht / Luxemburgish: Ech kan Glas iessen, daat deet mir nët wei.
643  
<li> Lausitzer Mundart ("Lusatian"): Ich koann Gloos assn und doas dudd merr ni wii.
644  
<li> Sächsisch / Saxon: 'sch kann Glos essn, ohne dass'sch mer wehtue.
645

648  
</ul>
649  
<p>
650  
651  
In contrast, I deem the following translations *alright*:
652  
653  
<p>
654  
<ul>
655  
656  
<li> Ruhrdeutsch: Ich kann Glas verkasematuckeln, ohne dattet mich wat jucken tut.
657  
<li> Pfälzisch: Isch konn Glass fresse ohne dasses mer ebbes ausmache dud.
658  
<li> Schwäbisch / Swabian: I kå Glas frässa, ond des macht mr nix!

</ul>

(However, you could remove the commas, on account of
663  
<a href="http://www.ids-mannheim.de/reform/e3-1.html#P76"><tt>http://www.ids-mannheim.de/reform/e3-1.html#P76</tt></a>

667  
668  
<p>

I guess, also these examples translate the <i>wrong</i> sense of "hurt",
671  
though I do not know these languages well enough to assert them
672  
definitely:
673  
674  
<p>
675  
<ul>
676  
677  
<li> Nederlands / Dutch: Ik kan glas eten; het doet mij geen
678  
pijn. <i>(This one has been changed)</i>
679  
<li> Kirchröadsj/Bôchesserplat: Iech ken glaas èèse, mer 't deet miech jing pieng.
680  
681  
</ul>
682  
<p>
683  
684  
In the Romanic languages, the variations on "fa male" (it) are probably
685  
wrong, whilst the variations on "hace daño" (es) and "damaĝas" (Esperanto) are probably correct; "nocet" (la) is definitely right.
686  
687  
<p>
688  
689  
The northern Germanic variants of "skada" are probably right, as are
690  
the Slavic variants of "Å¡kodi/Ñ?коди" (se); however the Slavic variants
691  
of " boli" (hv) are probably wrong, as "bolena" means "pain/ache", IIRC.

That was from July 2004.  In December 2007, Otto writes again:

Hello Frank,
701  
702  
in days of yore, I had written:<br>
703  
&gt;     "Ich kann Glas essen ohne mir zu schaden." <br>
704  
&gt; (The comma fell victim to the 1996 orthographic reform,

707  
<p>
708  
709  
The latest revision (2006) of the official German orthography
710  
has revived the comma around infinitive clauses commencing with
711  
<i>ohne</i>, or 5 other conjunctions, or depending from a noun or
712  
from an announcing demonstrative
713  
(<a href="http://www.ids-mannheim.de/reform/regeln2006.pdf">http://www.ids-mannheim.de/reform/regeln2006.pdf</a>, &sect;75).
714  
So, it's again: <i>Ich kann Glas essen, ohne mir zu schaden.</i>

<li>Taiwanese is also known as Holo or Hoklo, and is related to Southern

758  
Contributed by Henry H. Tan-Tenn, who comments, "The above is
759  
the romanized version, in a script current among Taiwanese Christians since
760  
the mid-19th century.  It was invented by British missionaries and saw use in
761  
hundreds of published works, mostly of a religious nature.  Most Taiwanese did
762  
not know Chinese characters then, or at least not well enough to read.  More
763  
to the point, though, a written standard using Chinese characters has never
764  
developed, so a significant minority of words are represented with different
765  
candidate characters, depending on one's personal preference or etymological
766  
theory.  In this sentence, for example, "-tàng", "chia̍h",
767  
"mā" and "bÄ?" are problematic using Chinese characters.
768  
"Góa" (I/me) and "po-lê" (glass) are as written in other Sinitic
769  
languages (e.g. Mandarin, Hakka)."

<li>Wagner Amaral of Pinese &amp; Amaral Associados notes that
774  
the Brazilian Portuguese sentence for
775  
"I can eat glass" should be identical to the Portuguese one, as the word
776  
"machuca" means "inflict pain", or rather "injuries". The words "faz 
777  
mal" would more correctly translate as "cause harm".
778

780  
781  
<li>Burmese: In English the first person pronoun "I" stands for both

830  
831  
The "I can eat glass" sentences do not necessarily show off the orthography of
832  
each language to best advantage.  In many alphabetic written languages it is
833  
possible to include all (or most) letters (or "special" characters) in
834  
a single (often nonsense) <i>pangram</i>.  These were traditionally used in
835  
typewriter instruction; now they are useful for stress-testing computer fonts

It's a small village in eastern Lower Saxony.
923  
The "oe" in this case
924  
turns out to be the Lower Saxon "lengthening e" (Dehnungs-e), which makes the
925  
previous vowel long (used in a number of Lower Saxon place names such as Soest
926  
and Itzehoe), not the "e" that indicates umlaut of the preceding vowel.
927  
Many thanks to the Ã?echtringen-Namenschreibungsuntersuchungskomitee
928  
(Alex Bochannek, Manfred Erren, Asmus Freytag, Christoph P&auml;per, plus
929  
Werner Lemberg who serves as
930  
�echtringen-Namenschreibungsuntersuchungskomiteerechtschreibungsprüfer)
931  
932  
for their relentless pursuit of the facts in this case. Conclusion: the
933  
accent almost certainly does not belong on this (or any other native German)
934  
word, but neither can it be dismissed as dirt on the page.  To add to the
935  
mystery, it has been reported that other copies of the same edition of the
936  
PLZB do not show the accent!  UPDATE (March 2006): David Krings was
937  
intrigued enough by this report to contact the mayor of Ebstorf, of which
938  
Oechtringen is a borough, who responded:

<li>From Karl Pentzlin (Kochel am See, Bavaria, Germany):
955  
"This German phrase is suited for display by a Fraktur (broken letter)
956  
font. It contains: all common three-letter ligatures: ffi ffl fft and all
957  
two-letter ligatures required by the Duden for Fraktur typesetting: ch ck ff
958  
fi fl ft ll Å¿ch Å¿i Å¿Å¿ Å¿t tz (all in a
959  
manner such they are not part of a three-letter ligature), one example of f-l
960  
where German typesetting rules prohibit ligating (marked by a ZWNJ), and all
961  
German letters a...z, ä,ö,ü,�, ſ [long s]
962  
(all in a manner such that they are not part of a two-letter Fraktur
963  
ligature)."
964  
965  
Otto Stolz notes that "'SchloÃ?' is now spelled 'Schloss', in
966  
contrast to 'grö�er' (example 4) which has kept its
967  
'Ã?'.  Fraktur has been banned from general use, in 1942, and long-s
968  
(Å¿) has ceased to be used with Antiqua (Roman) even earlier (the
969  
latest Antiqua-Å¿ I have seen is from 1913, but then
970  
I am no expert, so there may well be a later instance."  Later Otto confirms
971  
the latter theory, "Now I've run across a book â??Deutsche
972  
Rechtschreibung� (edited by Lutz Mackensen) from 1954 (my reprint
973  
is from 1956) that has kept the Antiqua-Å¿ in its dictionary part (but
974  
neither in the preface nor in the appendix)."

In Bulgarian it is desirable, customary, or in some cases required to
1008  
write accents over vowels.  Unfortunately, no computer character sets
1009  
contain the full repertoire of accented Cyrillic letters.  With Unicode,
1010  
however, it is possible to combine any Cyrillic letter with any combining
1011  
accent.  The appearance of the result depends on the font and the rendering
1012  
engine.  Here are two examples.

1229  
anything.  It's just plain text, nothing more.  By the way, there's nothing
1230  
special about EMACS -- any text editor will do, providing it allows entry of
1231  
arbitrary 8-bit bytes as text, including the 0x80-0x9F "C1" range.  EMACS 21.1
1232  
actually supports UTF-8; earlier versions don't know about it and display the
1233  
octal codes; either way is OK for this purpose.

1242  
<p>
1243  
1244  
I just found out your website and it makes me feel like proposing an
1245  
interpretation of the choice of this peculiar phrase.
1246  
1247  
<p>
1248  
1249  
Glass is transparent and can hurt as everyone knows. The relation between
1250  
people and civilisations is sometimes effusional and more often rude. The
1251  
concept of breaking frontiers through globalization, in a way, is also an
1252  
attempt to deny any difference.  Isn't "transparency" the flag of modernity?
1253  
Nothing should be hidden any more, authority is obsolete, and the new powers
1254  
are supposed to reign through loving and smiling and no more through
1255  
coercion...
1256  
1257  
<p>
1258  
1259  
Eating glass without pain sounds like a very nice metaphor of this attempt.
1260  
That is, frontiers should become glass transparent first, and be denied by
1261  
incorporating them.  On the reverse, it shows that through globalization,

frontiers undergo a process of displacement, that is, when they are not any
1263  
more speakable, they become repressed from the speech and are therefore

1272  
traditional frontiers.
