Someone asked me about the difference between UTF-8 and Unicode, here's my explanation in case others find it helpful.

Hey! Just published **rTexPacker v5.0**!
Pack your sprites and font glyphs! Many new features: sprite tags, slicing, collider editor, manual positioning, codepoints loading from text, new UI style...🤯
And fits in a floppy disk! 😄

I've just remembered that the data type in Go for Unicode codepoints is called "rune", and I love it.

Codepoints would've been a much better choice, of course, but I didn't want to force JS clients (the most common type) to implement the utf8 spec to interact with richtext
WHAT I DIDNT FKIN KNOW is that JS *does* have a way to iterate codepoints, it's just fucking obscure:

reason: this is the only single-codepoint utf-16 emoji that supports gender modifiers - all other gender-compatible emojis require at least two codepoints, which naive js string reverse will break

I think a lot of confusion is coming from incorrect use of terminology. There are no such thing as "utf16 codepoints", there are "Unicode codepoints" that can be encoded into "UTF-16 code units"

#pwsh Adds the function EnumerateRunes() to String.
What's cool about it verses #powershell? You can enumerate text over *codepoints* instead of *chars*.
That means you don't have to deal with surrogate pairs.

Ten codepoints!
Colon, period (full stop), vertical line, colon, and semicolon, plus a "Combining long stroke overlay" after each of those.

I have once again been burned by something claiming to decode ASCII and not actually decoding to ASCII codepoints.
It's almost like no developers worry about code pages and codepoints anymore! Everyone has become complacent with UTF-8 and I have ancient serial devices to talk to.
