Well done, and I'm impressed by how you handle showing source code on Substack. I'm fairly new around here and have been wondering whether anyone is writing about Python. Going by this post, you may be doing the same thing I've been doing on my other WordPress blog, writing about Python for non-experts. (Though I also get into advanced and non-Python topics.)
I enjoyed this post. I'm a retired software designer who worked for an international company, and Unicode made my life so much simpler. Now if someone would only do that for dates...
Thanks - yes Substack is not great for showing code. So, I experimented a bit to find something that works for me. Not ideal, but until they support proper code formatting, this will have to do!

FWIW, I wrote something similar on my main WP blog a while back. If you'd like to check it out, it's here: https://logosconcarne.com/2021/11/15/the-blessing-of-unicode/

Understanding bytes and character encoding is crucial for handling diverse text data in programming. Thanks for the detailed breakdown!
Glad you enjoyed the article!
Thank you.
