So they’re going through their whole Delphi codebase to give us upside-down text?
Upside down characters? I’m guessing they are not part of the klingon character set.
How is anyone supposed to take Unicode seriously with stuff like that in it?
A lot of the upside down characters are normal characters.
p = d
n = u

Some are the same either way, like ’s’
