Call for Participation Reminder! - 44th Internationalization & Unicode Conference, Santa Clara, CA - October 14-16, 2020
by Jim DeLaHunt March 9, 2021

March 9, 2021

Hello, UA Colleagues: I want to be sure this group sees the call for participation for the Internationalisation and Unicode Conference, which takes place this October 14-16, 2020, in Santa Clara, California, USA. Do you want to propose a talk? If so, the deadline is this Friday, March 6, in the UTC-8 timezone. Many of you know the Internationalisation and Unicode Conference. For those who don't, it is a gathering of those who define The Unicode Standard for text, as well as architects of fonts, text rendering, and beyond that into software engineering aspects of internationalisation and localisation. About 100% of the audience are solidly in favour of the values and goals of Universal Acceptance. However, much fewer than 100% know what the Universal Acceptance Group does, and what the current successes and obstacles are. I think Universal Acceptance should not be absent from this conference. If anyone has questions about this conference, I have been attending for many years, and I would be happy to answer them. Others on this list are probably even more expert than I am. Best regards, —Jim DeLaHunt, Vancouver, Canada -------- Forwarded Message -------- Date: Thu, 20 Feb 2020 16:29:05 -0500 Message-Id: <202002202129.01KLT5NP015843(a)aquamarine.omg.org> From: Unicode Conference <programs(a)unicodeconference.org> Subject: Call for Participation Reminder! - 44th Internationalization & Unicode Conference, Santa Clara, CA - October 14-16, 2020 IUC 44 Conference To see this message in your browser click *here <https://www.unicodeconference.org/e-marketing/IUC44-CfPReminder-02-20-20.htm>* Internationalization & Unicode Conference 44.

Maybe email addresses and URLs might not matter anymore?
by Jim DeLaHunt Sept. 8, 2020

Sept. 8, 2020

UA Colleagues: We spend a lot of time thinking about universal acceptance of email addresses and URLs. We tend to assume that email addresses and URLs are important. But for a lot of information technology users, they aren't. Those users learned to use IT via mobile, rather than via desktop computers. They use all-embracing messaging apps like WeChat, or walled garden social media sites where you find what you want by search. In these environments, email addresses and URLs just don't matter as much as they do in longer-established, and Anglo-centric, IT cultures. Here are an interesting blog post and an interesting news article on the topic: /In China, email addresses are irrelevant/ • July 28, 2020 by John Yunker, blog post <https://globalbydesign.com/2020/07/28/in-china-email-addresses-are-irreleva…> /Why email loses out to popular apps in Chin//a/ • 9th July 2020 by Lu-Hai Liang, BBC <https://www.bbc.com/worklife/article/20200707-why-email-loses-out-to-popula…> I think a useful response to this might be to keep asking ourselves, how do people communicate in preference to emails? How do people find things in preference to typing in URLs? Then investigating those methods for Universal Acceptance as well. 'In Anglo-centric countries such as the UK, US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, email retains the etiquette of an analogue age. The “Dear X” greetings and formal sign-offs – “Best regards” – and so on, reveal vestigial ties to letter writing.' As I do in this email message.

"Chinese Historical Figure".网址 - 历史名人.网址
by André Schappo Sept. 4, 2020

Sept. 4, 2020

I consider the following to be seriously impressive. I was amazed when I fortuitously discovered this yesterday. I happened to look at the Chinese gTLD .网址 (website/web address) and discovered there are many (hundreds? thousands?) Chinese Domain Names of the form "Chinese Historical Figure".网址 (历史名人.网址) Here are just a few of them. The sites are in Chinese so I have also provided the relevant English Wikipedia articles. http://杜甫.网址 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Du_Fu http://杜审言.网址 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Du_Shenyan http://唐肃宗.网址 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emperor_Suzong_of_Tang http://舜.网址 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emperor_Shun http://高适.网址 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gao_Shi http://陈陶.网址 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chen_Tao_(poet) http://于忠.网址 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yu_Zhong http://韩愈.网址 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Han_Yu http://元稹.网址 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuan_Zhen http://白起.网址 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bai_Qi http://苏秦.网址 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Su_Qin http://姜子牙.网址 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jiang_Ziya http://吴起.网址 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wu_Qi http://乾隆.网址 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qianlong_Emperor http://顺治.网址 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shunzhi_Emperor http://多尔衮.网址 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorgon http://杨玉环.网址 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yang_Guifei http://西施.网址 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xi_Shi http://王昭君.网址 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wang_Zhaojun http://李世民.网址 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emperor_Taizong_of_Tang Yesterday, I also tweeted some "Chinese Historical Figure".网址's https://twitter.com/andreschappo/status/1301497757019123714 https://twitter.com/andreschappo/status/1301513451039154178 Each resolve to a single page site which gives information about the Historical Figure. Within each page there are links to other Historical Figures. The following explanation may well have errors/misunderstandings as my knowledge of Chinese is rather poor but here is my current understanding. The above is part of an initiative to offer people the opportunity to register a domain name of the form "my name".网址. Basically the brand is the person. So, for example, if I were to register a domain name with my adopted Chinese name then I would register 小山.网址. The content of my 小山.网址 website would mainly be information about my involvement in Computer Science Internationalisation. Actually I would also have a section about Colour :) Now, If one visits https://n.knetreg.cn/RJS-lsmr you are given the opportunity to enter a name. I randomly invented the Chinese name 王安安. The system then informed me that there are 4 individuals with the same name and it is not registered and gave me the opportunity to register 王安安.网址 and become "the unique you". I deduce that the system must have access to a database of people names. This now leaves me with many questions and here are some of them. How many Chinese Historical Figures have a .网址 site? Who created the content for the "Chinese Historical Figure".网址's How many living people have a .网址 site? André Schappo

by Tan Tanaka, Dennis Sept. 3, 2020

Sept. 3, 2020

Dear UASG community, The UA Measurement working group is looking at UA-readiness on social network applications, e.g. Facebook, Wechat. For this, the working group is developing a statement of work and we are asking for your feedback since the final report will help UASG with outreach, training and remediation efforts. The document, located here https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_byW1hAAeiob_a7xErBFwpG6be9O6udu/view?usp=…, is a high level statement of work which describes 1) purpose, 2) scope, 3) high-level requirements, and 4) deliverables. Based on your feedback and internal work by the working group this document will be finalized with a more detailed version. At this point we welcome your questions and observations. At least, we are looking to build a list of the most popular social network applications used in selected countries and regions (see table in the document). We look forward to your feedback. Thank you, Dennis, on behalf the UA Measurement wg
