How do I do that? Very new to lemmy. Using Boost. Thanks in advance!
Remember to throw in “=” at the start just to toy with the poor sap who has to manipulate the results in excel

Seeing this actually sent a small wave of dread through my body
When I see �, I just assume the user or another dev is using a non-standard keyboard, or my fonts aren’t up to date
When I see this shit, I lose all blood flow to the brain and then just collapse

That’s pretty funny! ���

If you’re reading this, you probably live in a country that is a party to United Nations Convention Against Torture.
If your company is allowing this, please contact your government or another member state.
What?
This is torture to do to a programmer…report people torturing others to the authorities

Why is it that whenever something is spitting out junk data, those specific characters are involved?
� is used to represent an invalid character, so it makes sense that it’d appear often when bad data is being rendered (or good data is being rendered improperly).
Everything is 0s and 1s to a computer. What a pattern of 0s and 1s encodes is decided by people–often arbitrarily. Over the years there have been attempts to standardize encodings but, for legacy reasons, older encodings are still valid.
The 0s and 1s that encode ’ in UTF-8 (a standardized encoding) are the same 0s and 1s that encode ’ in CP-1252 (a legacy encoding).
The � symbol is shown when the 0s and 1s don’t encode anything of meaning.
’=e2 80 99(3 bytes)
’=e28099(3 separate bytes)
Some hackers DoS the code. This guy DoS’s the corporate process.
Junior dev: Oh no what is that symbol? Let me examine the code closely to find out
Senior dev: The form still works. Fuck you.
See you in hell
wow this is a good joke’ wonder if it’ll work
You’d need to put ’ (specifically) in place of a quotation mark. That is the cp1252 encoding of right single quote in utf 8.
“Wonder if it’ll work?”
Who hurt you!?
👺 May your socks always be wet.
