    Come on we're in the 21st century, UTF-8 is pervasive. Just call it "Å14" node.

      I don't think it's a UTF-8 problem. It's just that most people don't have "Å" on their keyboard.

        tips in linux, remap altgr to compose and enjoy glyphs

        On mac this is just Opt + A

        Most people don’t have “é” on their keyboard, yet they still spell “fiancée”.

          Do they? Other than like the new yorker?

          They only do if autocorrect allows it

        Many people don't know.

          cat /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose | grep Å

  <dead_abovering> <A>       : "Å"   Aring # LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH RING ABOVE
  <Multi_key> <o> <A>        : "Å"   Aring # LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH RING ABOVE
  <Multi_key> <asterisk> <A> : "Å"   Aring # LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH RING ABOVE
  <Multi_key> <A> <asterisk> : "Å"   Aring # LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH RING ABOVE
  <Multi_key> <A> <A>        : "Å"   Aring # LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH RING ABOVE

        Å - long press "a" on the ios keyboard and you get a whole list, slide your finger to the one you want, and let go.

      What's □14 node?

        I was laughing at the expected expectation of universally working UTF-8 just because it's 2026 when I read that. Soooo many things just do not work with UTF-8 as expected. I'm looking at MS Excel with heavy side eye

      "�14" does have a nice touch to it.

      A14 is more in keeping with N2, and it is anyways just a name, not a measurement.
