Interesting! It looks like the base form is an abugida that can represent CV and VC syllables easily; does the system stack multiple super/subscripts for closed syllables and consonant clusters? Or would those just be handled by multiple graphemes?

"Font hacks are also at work wherever you see someone spell their name using Korean or Arabic characters on a platform set to English... What we call “fancy font” are more a DIY workaround that mines all 300K standardized characters for graphemes and glyphs that can be repurposed..."

they tried whole word literacy and it didn't work at all; basically through repeated exposure children would simply pick up how to read. kids need to learn what letters, graphemes and phonemes sound like (what phonics does) before you can expect them to be able to decode and read an unfamiliar word

The posting form doesn’t show the count in bytes — it shows it in graphemes. So that sounds right?

BUT when calculating the length of a post as it’s entered, it uses the native Javascript string.length value. So even though there’s a character limit of 300 up in this muh, that’s measured in UTF-16 graphemes while you type, so it may be over the limit in UTF-8.
Graphemes, goddamn.
Graphemes, goddamn.

actually it’s pretty simple, and that’s close
it’s by the number of graphemes in the string, which is a Unicode concept. numGraphemes(str) <= 300

Also, I’d really like to read YOUR paper. Is it about Irish English or the actual Irish language? Some words I’ve seen in Irish make welsh look simple by comparison. Just a string of graphemes & digraphs that don’t seem to correspond with any identifiable phonemes lol

横から失礼します。文字列長カウントについてはこの辺で定義されていて、Lengthがバイト、Graphemesは書記素クラスタとなっています。コードポイント換算で64だと少な目になりますが、厳しくなる分にはいいだろう(厳密にやる必要は無い)という判断かと。 atproto.com/specs/lexico...

they are supposed count graphemes which is harder but more natural: basically if something looks like autonomous symbol, even if it uses ten codes, it should count as 1

Yeah. The app.bsky.feed.post lexicon specifies a maximum length (300 graphemes or 3000 utf-8 code points, to accommodate emoji and things like kanji, which are each multiple code points) but an alternate lexicon could set it higher or not have one.

Susan Howe's "mystic documentary telepathy" arrives suddenly, pressing "things-in-themselves" against "things-as-they-were-for-us." Howe centers insignificant material details: "quotations, thought-fragments, rhymes, syllables, anagrams, graphemes, endangered phonemes."

League is only three phonemes, so looks a bit odd. The 'gue' grapheme occurs in 23 of our words, such as vague, plague, and colleague.

Yes, phonemes are represented by graphemes. SLL programs adhere to that principle. And they are proven to work. It's possible that a different article from someone who's helped develop an SLL program would help, but I'm not sure you'd be open to that.

@maxbittker.bsky.social I think there is a bug in how this bot computes "facet ranges" (for URLs); it needs to count in UTF-8 bytes not Unicode codepoints or UTF-16 or graphemes.
is there a repo I can submit a PR against?

and hopefully documented correctly in the specs. did spend a bunch of time going around on this way back when.
there is a known issue that grapheme counting can change over time, which sucks.
and I can't remember exactly but think you can split graphemes in facet indexing, which is nasty

Like, I just found this line in the typescript validations, is this the expectation then, that a 'grapheme' is just the UTF-16 bit chunk? github.com/bluesky-soci...
But, I don't think that it is *actually* validating the number of graphemes, as some graphemes take more than 16 bits.

Is it the sound of the name? The graphemes on a page? Other spellings of the name? Some digital encoding of it? Some signature mark?
Well it's a whole bunch of things simultaneously, and not in a way that these are separable from each other, because everyone "just knows" what a name is.

Gave. In contrast to yesterday's word (give), the 'e' after the 'v' here is a split digraph 'a.e' for the /ā/ sound. #phonics
