[CLOSED WONTFIX RUBY] Accented capital letters aren't counted as capitals
-
I GREATLY ENjOY THIS BUG!
-
lTS STILL EASIER TO MAKE YOUR ALL CAPS POST INCLUDE AN I AND SUBSTITUTE A LOWER CASE L THOUGH
-
TR is that I had to switch layouts while typing that because I can't get Nj and Q/W/Y/X on the same (preset) layout. At least I didn't find one that combines them.
Yes, I know I could use composing you pendants, I'm working on the "userus vulgaris" level here.
-
I could pull a blakey and say that they're Open Source devs and making it do Unicode properly isn't "fun", so they didn't bother and now they're too far along to actually fix it (it'd be even less "fun" at this point)..

BUT THAT'S NΟT IN THE SPIRIT OF THINGS

Counterexample: Python

I still vote for Ruby being TR . Took me two seconds to search unicode.org to find out how to do it.

Also, as we explored in the Likes thread (and I do mean you and I specifically, 8½ months ago), BBCode and HTML elements also beat the "all caps" check.
...
I also remember, Ember strips out HTML entities at seemingly random.
-
I'm pretty use that the whole thing with non-ASCII characters was also tested and discovered a long time ago as well, but I only now remembered this one specific case where I can actually use one of those characters to produce a close-enough-to-correct English word so I had to do it.
-
I'm pretty sure it was tested right around the same time, because we were figuring out everything that would bypass the all caps check as that was what was being discussed in the Unity thread (that I linked above) at the time.
I remember making a post with a single A and a unicode character
somewhere. Either the Likes thread or a One Post topic.in the Likes thread, here:

Á

There; that one's on the hedgy ;)

Counterexample: Python
python2 unicode support: decent but a pain in the ass to implement and a lot of gotchas (string versus unicode string)
Python 3: "What's ASCII? we're all unicode here mate."
-
Which makes even more ridiculous it doesn't do Unicode properly
As I recall, Japanese developers were very slow to adopt Unicode, preferring to deal with Shift-JIS instead.
-
-
The whole "Body is not descriptive" or whatever the Discotoaster says is annoying.
#IT ALSO DOESN'T EVEN WORK.
-
-
TL;DR: "Ruby is written by a bunch of clueless American hipsters who never need Unicode for anything, so this bug won't get fixed"
Not going to del/ins this, but I think you meant, Unicode fucks us over again.

Nah. I was definitely thinking about Unicode. 26 letters (with no funny squiggles) should be enough for anybody.
-
Are you gonna make me post chicken scratch again?
-
Make? Go ahead, if you want me to mock you.
-
Tôi chọn tiếng Việt thay thế.
Proceed.
-
It looks like there's something on my monitor right where you typed that stuff.
Or maybe I just need to clean my glasses again.

Tell that to someone who plays on the same game server as Russian and Japanese players on a routine basis...(or better yet, to someone who speaks Japanese)

If they come here, I will tell them. English is the language of the future.
-
I did it, I'm the winner. All caps in the post above and no funny business in the raw, no sir.

#...WAT?
-
Now I have to ask—are you using those Unicode letters that look exactly like the ASCII letters, but aren't, that exist for seemingly no reason I can discern?

СУКА :D

Nice. Also this:

It's probably because Japanese doesn't have Uppercase.

You could use katakana instead of hiragana (or is it the other way round?) instead. I heard that's culturally the equivalent of writing in italics.

#YOU ARE SO RIGHT! BUT WHAT ABOUT ADDING SOME sub OR sup TO THE MIX?

Sure, why not! Everybody likes subs and soup! You can buy both at the same time from your nearest Subway™ restaurant! How convenient!
Subway™ restaurants would like to publically distance them from the figure known as @tar and would very much prefer if he didn't endorse their products.

Subway™ restaurant
I wouldn't call Subway™ a restaurant. It's a place that sells food-like stuff.
-
Maybe; IIRC, no CJK writing has upper-case

I'be never seen soup at a British Subway. You have to go to Soup-Urb for stuff like that

The Japanese are always screaming, so it wouldn't make a difference.

You would be too if you were fully greased and trying to run up a slide towards a naked woman in a shower while having a bungee cord pulling you backwards into a mud bath. On TV.
