The Magic of Unicode: How We Make Text Fun and Fancy
Ever wondered how you can send "๐ฏ๐ช๐ท๐ฌ๐" text messages or create unique usernames like "แดแดกแดsแดแดแด"? The secret lies in Unicode, the digital language that makes all of this possible. Let's dive into this fascinating world and learn how to make your text stand out!
What is Unicode, Really? ๐ค
Think of Unicode as a massive digital dictionary that assigns a unique number (called a code point) to every character in every language. It's like giving each letter, number, and symbol its own ID card. For example:
- The letter 'A' has the code point U+0041
- The emoji '๐' has the code point U+1F60A
- The mathematical symbol 'โ' has the code point U+2211
