So this is how YouTube handles overflow/trims text 🤭

Devrant too, I assume it's because they both cut the strings at n bytes and so multi-byte utf-8 codepoints get sliced into an invalid byte.

@lbfalvy halfway through 2022 and we're splitting Unicode strings by bytes, smh.

Well, code monkeys normally don't know about grapheme clusters. You have to provide them with libs and templates that do the right thing - or they happily butcher your text, eat it and create abstract cave drawings from the remains...

@Oktokolo to be fair there is no point in writing the same emoji handling code in 386283 different companies instead of using a library

@piratefox Well, in large companies, yes actually. You know. Code safety and such

@ScriptCoded if we talk about FAANG maybe, if the library is open source and we’re not talking about FAANG I’m not so sure

Edit: faang or banks
