Tips

Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Sign your messages with four tildes (~~~~), be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Happy editing! Cheers, John Maynard Friedman (talk) 12:39, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

UTF-16[edit]

Thank you. I want to edit the UTF-16 convert formula:

U' = yyyyyyyyyyxxxxxxxxxx // U - 0x10000

W1 = 110110yyyyyyyyyy // 0xD800 + yyyyyyyyyy

W2 = 110111xxxxxxxxxx // 0xDC00 + xxxxxxxxxx

to

U ∈ [U+010000, U+10FFFF]

U' = ①②③④⑤⑥⑦⑧⑨⑩ ⑪⑫⑬⑭⑮⑯⑰⑱⑲⑳ // U - 0x10000

W₁ = 110110①② ③④⑤⑥⑦⑧⑨⑩ // 0xD800 + ①②③④⑤⑥⑦⑧⑨⑩

W₂ = 110111⑪⑫ ⑬⑭⑮⑯⑰⑱⑲⑳ // 0xDC00 + ⑪⑫⑬⑭⑮⑯⑰⑱⑲⑳

what do you think? Diguage (talk) 13:24, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You would be best going to talk:UTF-16 to put that question, as you are more likely to get a more expert answer there than I can give. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 14:06, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Disabling sight-impaired visitors[edit]

Sorry but I had to revert your well-intentioned edit. For the long explanation, see MOS:ACCESS but briefly, Wikipedia prefers to avoid precomposed characters that may disable readers with impaired sight or block blind readers if their screen reader can't handle it sensibly. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 12:39, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

OK.

I only considered the format and did not take care of this part of the population.

Thank you for the tip. Diguage (talk) 13:43, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It was payback time for when I got denounced many moons ago for doing exactly the same thing.
