Understanding text for C Programmers (UTF-8, Unicode, ASCII)

[@Dolberggames]

this video was just excellent in every aspect, I watched several other videos but this finally helped me get it

[@cliffmathew]

The first video that clearly explained the multibyte codepoint. Thanks!

[@GreggInkCodes]

You are welcome.

[@Moe5Tavern]

Thank you so much for the video! I really enjoyed it

[@mar5253]

Well explained video!. Back when i did my first win32 program i just did what you said and went with ASCII.

[@godnyx117]

For how many years ago we are talking about?

[@godnyx117]

Great video! Thanks a lot for your work!

[@GreggInkCodes]

You are welcome.

ascii my beloved

Im trying to get å ä ö into my program. I didnt really understand why at 12:57 line 86 uint32_t. Is this just how utf-caracters are declared?

[@GreggInkCodes]

A codepoint can have a value of up to 1.1 million. Using a uint32_t is used just to make sure I have enough space.

A very good channel !!

[@someoneisasking8330]

ok the explanations is amazing. no too in-depth but enough for me to understand the basic of how UTF-8 came about. Wish you could say more about why is UTF 8 better than UTF 16 :)

[@GreggInkCodes]

It is because UTF-16 wastes memory. UTF-16 will always use either 2 or 4 bytes even when 1 is enough. UTF-8 uses just one byte for the old 7-bit ASCII.

[@GreggInkCodes]

Thanks, I appreciate that.

Hey bro. can you help me how to open utf-8 file ?

[@GreggInkCodes]

You open it just like any other file. Of course, if you want to display its contents, you need an editor which supports unicode.

I have a question , please

[@GreggInkCodes]

Yes?

[@GreggInkCodes]

@@md_ez I have a reddit account. Every time I post a video, I notify people of the C_Programming subreddit. (www.reddit.com/user/gregg_ink) There 2 main projects I currently work on. 1) This youtube channel. 2) I am writing a sci-fi novel. I have an account on instagram but I use that primarily to stay in touch with fellow writers. (@greggink) I have a twitter account but I haven't posted in quite a while (@Gregg_Ink).

Always welcome.

[@lihuseynzad6983]

your code not working

[@GreggInkCodes]

Can you elaborate? All code is tested before I put it in the video. You can see that I run and demonstrate the code in the video so it is clearly working. If you are going to claim something is not working, it obviously needs a bit of explaining.

@@GreggInkCodes I use Dev C++ I try use this code but not working

[@GreggInkCodes]

@@lihuseynzad6983 Well, I don't know. Are you running it on Windows or on Linux? The code is designed for Linux, I don't think that the Dos prompt does support emojis. It could be any number of things, like for example maybe a setting within dev c++. Have you tried using gcc like I demonstrate in the video?

[@lihuseynzad6983]
