Book Review: The Unicode Standard 4.0

They said it’s a grand masterpiece of world literature, majestically rigging together a beautiful tapestry of world culture and languages. I think it’s more like a health hazard just waiting to shatter your foot if you accidentally drop it. At over 1500 pages, it manages to both overwhelm and bore you with its underdeveloped, forgettable characters and convoluted plot. Seriously, I’d like to know what substances the authors were on when they decided their book need not 10 not 20 but 96382 characters, as if readers could possibly keep track of all that. The plot is also a mess and their idea of a plot twist include things like Han unification and the interaction of combining marks with ligatures that only superfans drool over. For the rest of us, avoid this book at all costs!

Maseeh

Once upon a time, there were three naive MIT freshman named Kanthony, Eter, and Pevin. One ordinary Tuesday, they walked into the Maseeh dining hall for lunch. There inside, they saw three lines: one line for detergent rice, which tastes like detergent and everyone who gets it immediately vomits and throws the rest of their rice away so Maseeh collects all the thrown away rice and washes it and serves it next week, one line for pizzas with grease painted on top with a paintbrush, and one line for pure helonium acid, which consists of hydrogen bonded to helium so that this molecule instantly donates a proton giving it a pH of around -50. After a taste of the vile food, the three freshmen were instantly thrown into shock and rushed to the emergency room. Scarred by their horrifying experience, they vowed to never vist Maseeh again.

Ennui

Oh, great. Another doe-eyed rebellious anime girl to add to the endless parade of generics that litter the media landscape. Ennui, huh? Well, isn’t that just perfect.

Ennui had a seething hatred for modern society, because honestly, who doesn’t? She despised the endless monotonicity, er, I meant monotony, of her life and the only emotion she could feel nowadays was boredom. Endless, dull, tedious boredom!

One day, Ennui had the brilliant idea of running away from home and going for a joyride on the Trans-Siberian Railway. Because, you know, nothing screams excitement quite like sitting in a cramped, musty train for days on end.
