"Plain Text - Dylan Beattie - NDC Copenhagen 2022"

It's an hour-long video, I watched it at 1.5x speed. This guy goes into a _huge_ amount of detail about why "plain text" isn't "plain text". I really enjoyed learning all of the history that led up to the point where we are today.
I'm gonna have to give this a watch
More time than I have lol
My fav related item is zero length unprintable characters showing up in code or in XML / JSON integration files blowing up parsing.
But where else should I store my vertical tab characters?? lol

Found the ner🤓!
;-) Disclaimer: I actually like these kind of tech under-the-hood distraction thingies. More than I probably should.
Haven't watched yet, but my guess it goes from 127 byte ASCII through to current 4 byte Unicode of today. 😎
Yeah, it also goes back into the 1800s to talk about type-setting.
In the entire talk, he skipped over the "Turkish i" problem, though.
