    Finally found a use for the hideous Unicode "fi" ligature: fitting quotes in 140 chars.https://twitter.com/RichFelker/status/882976573510602752 …

        Why would Unicode need a ligature (as opposed to the font)? Also, it doesn't even render as a ligature in this font!

        Legacy encodings included them, and Unicode added them to preserve round-trip encoding. They are very deprecated in favor of font ligation.

        Yes. The most hideous part is that several PDF readers/converters produce them in output or clipboard copies for Adobe "fi" glyph...

        This is most strange: reading @FiveThirtyEight on Chrome/Android gives me a monospace font with an fi ligature. pic.twitter.com/IDOCeu3xwH

        Hmm, should there be a monospace font that makes a n-char ligature n characters wide?

        For character-cell fonts it's not possible without getting implementors to agree on changing wcwidth([those chars])...

        Has anybody made a tool to compress text by doing this?

        Replying to @orpach

        Not AFAIK. But it doesn't compress in the sense of size, only characters. Size for "fi"->U+FB01 is +50%.

        That's fine, twitter counts by character.

        Wow, so this is in reallity a number of characters bound, and not on the number of bytes?

        Yes. You can achieve maximal tweet density by tweeting in Chinese.

        We should all start tweeting in Chinese.
