so @yayimhere what do you think? -Ϫ (talk) 14:15, 24 October 2025 (UTC)

oh i haven't read it yet, I responded early in the morning, I'll read it now! also could you check my language Uncompetition? pleaaaase. also I dont rlly understand the "syntax" section --Yayimhere2(school) (talk) 14:17, 24 October 2025 (UTC)

the existence of a 'syntax' section was only because that note wasn't a command but it was still important. also UnCompetition feels like it could be merged with regex to make something interesting. -Ϫ (talk) 17:17, 24 October 2025 (UTC)

how would you reccomnd doing that? allowing regular expression's on the programs themselves? cuz that could definitely be cool!!! --Yayimhere2(school) (talk) 05:17, 25 October 2025 (UTC)

well, it's been done. Unrepetition! --Yayimhere2(school) (talk) 10:29, 25 October 2025 (UTC)

encoding

does the esolang assume UTF-8 encoding or raw byte data? —aadenboy (talk|contribs) 19:01, 28 October 2025 (UTC)

It assumes that input is encoded via UTF-8. In any other encoding, the text is taken character-for-character and reencoded into UTF-8. -Ϫ (talk) 17:27, 29 October 2025 (UTC)

also, should the program run each byte from the most significant to least significant? since the actual order of "ë" for example would be b e 0 0 (byte 1, 2, 3, 4), but your example program assumes 0 0 e b (byte 4, 3, 2, 1) —aadenboy (talk|contribs) 18:51, 29 October 2025 (UTC)

wait, really? the Unicode designation was 00eb.... also to clarify the hex code is just there to make it easier to read. -Ϫ (talk) 15:44, 31 October 2025 (UTC)

the unicode designation is U+00EB, but remember that numbers are read right-to-left, so the first byte executed is B, not E —aadenboy (talk|contribs) 15:49, 31 October 2025 (UTC)

p.s. the correct cat program would be U+00BE ¾ given my statement —aadenboy (talk|contribs) 15:52, 31 October 2025 (UTC)
