  • ℉ and Celsius ℃ come fully assembled as a single character One of my biggest annoyances is seeing the degree glyph

    The Unicode Consortium disagrees with you. ℉ and ℃ are included for round-trip convertibility, they are compatibility characters. That doesn’t mean you’re not supposed to use them, but the decomposition of ℉ is ° + F, which does mean they are equivalent and that it is correct to use ° for both angles and temperatures.

    It’s like how hyphen-minus has two very different uses but is one character.






  • Some issues are solvable with better architecture but developers don’t make money on it, many only build for the landlords. Stuff like good soundproofing between separate units, both a lift and multiple staircases in bigger buildings, visual variation between buildings or parts of buildings so people don’t get lost or stir crazy, outdoor spaces with both vegetation and useable areas.

    Depends on your city, but many need more medium-density, not go straight from terraced housing to seven floor buildings.
