  does chinese code take up less space? wait how many bytes does it take to encode a chinese character? is it just UTF-8 or is it something else

    UTF-16 is fine for the cat majority of Chinese characters. It has been standard since 2008 for C++ (at least for code that wants to be running on windows; Microsoft moved everything to w_string back then).
    C# uses UTF-16 natively for strings.
    Dunno about other languages

  HAHAHAHA

  I love how evil this is

  Don’t speak any chinese languages (or is that japanese?) but I do know that most words don’t have a direct translation to english

  HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA I’M STEALING THAT IDEA!

  I’m forced to learn french because I’m in canada, so if I get corrected I can chuck a phrase of similar meaning with no direct translation

  God I love doing stuff like this
