<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  
a survey of Unicode fonts for Windows.

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

593  
<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


637

In the Romanic languages, the variations on "fa male" (it) are probably

wrong, whilst the variations on "hace daño" (es) and "damaĝas" (Esperanto) are probably correct; "nocet" (la) is definitely right.

The northern Germanic variants of "skada" are probably right, as are

the Slavic variants of "škodi/шкоди" (se); however the Slavic variants


691  
of " boli" (hv) are probably wrong, as "bolena" means "pain/ache", IIRC.

Hello Frank,

in days of yore, I had written:<br>


703

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).

So, it's again: <i>Ich kann Glas essen, ohne mir zu schaden.</i>

Contributed by Henry H. Tan-Tenn, who comments, "The above is

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 "bē" are problematic using Chinese characters.

"Góa" (I/me) and "po-lê" (glass) are as written in other Sinitic

<li>Wagner Amaral of Pinese &amp; Amaral Associados notes that

the Brazilian Portuguese sentence for

"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

possible to include all (or most) letters (or "special" characters) in

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.

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

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

965  
Otto Stolz notes that "'Schloß' is now spelled 'Schloss', in


966  
contrast to 'größer' (example 4) which has kept its


967  
'ß'.  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 “Deutsche


972  
Rechtschreibung” (edited by Lutz Mackensen) from 1954 (my reprint


973

<dd>The UTF8-aware <a href="k95.html">Kermit 95</a> terminal emulator on


1215  
Windows, to a Unix host with the <a


1216  
href="http://www.gnu.org/directory/emacs.html">EMACS</a> text editor.  Kermit


1217  
95 displays UTF-8 and also allows keyboard entry of arbitrary Unicode BMP


1218  
characters as 4 hex digits, as shown <a href="glass.html">HERE</a>.  Hex codes


1219  
for Unicode values can be found in <a


1220  
href="http://www.unicode.org/unicode/uni2book/u2.html">The Unicode


1221  
Standard</a> (recommended) and the <a


1222  
href="http://www.unicode.org/charts/">online code charts</a>.  When


1223  
submissions arrive by email encoded in some other character set (Latin-1,


1224  
Latin-2, KOI, various PC code pages, JEUC, etc), I use the TRANSLATE command


1225  
of <a href="ckermit.html">C-Kermit</a> on the Unix host (<a


1226  
href="safe.html">where I read my mail</a>) to convert the character set to


1227  
UTF-8 (I could also use Kermit 95 for this; it has the same TRANSLATE


1228  
command).  That's it -- no "Web authoring" tools, no locales, no "smart"


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.

<dd>Date: Wed, 27 Feb 2002 13:21:59 +0100<br>


1239  
From: "Bruno DEDOMINICIS" <tt>&lt;b.dedominicis@cite-sciences.fr&gt;</tt><br>


1240  
Subject: Je peux manger du verre, cela ne me fait pas mal.


1241  


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,


1262  
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


1264  
incorporated and might become painful symptoms, as for example what happens


1265  
when one tries to eat glass.


1266  


1267  
<p>


1268  


1269  
The frontiers that used to separate bodies one from another tend to divide


1270  
bodies from within and make them suffer....  The chosen phrase then appears


1271  
as a denial of the symptom that might result from the destitution of


1272  
traditional frontiers.
