Description
This week we chat with five members of the SG16 Unicode Study Group, Zach Laine, Tom Honermann, Steve Downey, Peter Brett and Corentin Jabot.
We talk about their efforts to get all things Unicode into the C++ standard in a tour that takes us from 5000 years ago, through the 80s and 90s up to the 2020s! We look at every known language, including a few dead ones - and some that are purely fictional.
Do you know the difference between a code unit and code point? A glyph and a grapheme cluster? String a Text? And what's wrong with Locales anyway?
This show sorts it all out.

I'm a Tall Guy Who Hit His Head a Lot: This is the first episode of cpp.chat in the podcast format, and the first of the rebooted series, following a hiatus since last summer. In this episode we introduce, new producer and co-host, Phil Nash, and entertain Rob and Jason from 'the other C++ podcast', CppCast. We turn the tables on these long-time interviewers, digging into their background and preferences, as well as looking back at three years of CppCast. by cpp.chat
