Some notes on codepoints.net and beta.codepoints.net

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/08/07

At the time of writing a lot of this might be more recent, but for quite some time codepoints.net had not been updated with code point information newer Unicode releases.

Basically it was stuck at Unicode version 8.0 with some 120k glyphs. At the time of writing Unicode version 15.0 is in beta and the difference between 15.0 and 8.0 is some 24k glyphs.

So I had a quick twitter chat with the author and jotted down the links in this blog post so I won’t forget them.

There I learned it was open source (I think it is the only Unicode codepoint site that is).

Here it goes:

Tweets:

  1. [Wayback/Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: “Hi @CodepointsNet, any plans to add codepoints from Unicode versions 13.0 and 14.0 like codepoints.net/U+1F95E?lang=en (U+1F95E🥞pancakes) and codepoints.net/U+1FAE7?lang=en (U+1FAE7🫧⊛ bubbles) ?”
  2. [Wayback/Archive] Codepoints.net on Twitter: “@jpluimers Yes, absolutely! (And that’s the same I said for v9, v10, v11, and v12… 😔) Unfortunately, I miscalculated the ratio of free time vs time a complete rewrite takes. Current (ie. February) state is at beta.codepoints.net. But thanks for nudging me!”
  3. [Wayback/Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: “@CodepointsNet Have you ever considered open sourcing it? (I know open source can be counter productive, so I understand if you won’t)”
  4. [Wayback/Archive] Codepoints.net on Twitter: “@jpluimers Oh, it is open sourced since the very beginning, github.com/Codepoints/codepoints.net . 👍 The data collection tools are, as well: github.com/Codepoints/unicode2mysql. It’s unfortunately really just a matter of finding time to work on it.”
  5. [Wayback/Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: “@CodepointsNet Thanks. I tried finding it, but failed (:”
  6. [Wayback/Archive] Codepoints.net on Twitter: “@jpluimers There is even a (slightly outdated) “how to set up your own copy” site here, dumps.codepoints.net, including DB dumps.”
  7. [Wayback/Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: “@CodepointsNet I see. Which branch of github.com/Codepoints/codepoints.net is the beta site?”
  8. [Wayback/Archive] Codepoints.net on Twitter: “@jpluimers The `main` branch. `master` is the old one, currently live.”
