I think one of the main reasons why you don't see many free chats is that you have to encode/decode which isn't the easiest task to do. If this were to be implemented, I'd still think attempts to make these would go up.Free cloud chats are against the terms of use and community guidelines. support because this could be useful, but this would allow for much easier free cloud chats. instead of creating an encoder and decoder, you could just use this.

Step one: put all the characters in a list. I think one of the main reasons why you don't see many free chats is that you have to encode/decode which isn't the easiest task to do.
Step two: use the “item #” block and a join block to make sure all the characters are two digits.
You have made an encoder.

That's not the first method that comes to mind if you think of an encoder, and plus while it may be easy to use, a block that shortens this step into one would probably open the door to lots of these projects as the encoder/decoder is the hardest part of making cloud chats.Step one: put all the characters in a list.

I will still have to disagree as the griffpatch tutorial is twelve minutes long. It's not very hard to do. the encoder/decoder is the hardest part of making cloud chats.

I disagree. That is very much the first method that comes to mind. Putting a bunch of characters into a list and getting the number of each one doesn't really require an advanced understanding of anything at all.That's not the first method that comes to mind if you think of an encoder Step one: put all the characters in a list.

Snap! has this. I think that this would allow users to implement a lot of requested functionality themselves, like seeing if a character is a number, seeing if a character is uppercase or lowercase, etc… Basically, it's a pretty good block from my definition.

I support. Unicode makes cloud variables and case sensitivity a lot easier.

I absolutely support this! It could also be used to make letter to unicode converter, which could be really cool for people who don't know unicodes really (like me)

Could anyone explain how unicode operates? Otherwise, I dont know whether to support or no support.

(I'm on Chromebook btw)
So if you type in ctrl + shift + u, a u with an underline appears with it. Then you type in some numbers / letters like 3333 you will get ㌳ or if you type 23f3 you get ⏳. You can do it with latin letters too and stuff like abcdfewasefw and accent aigu e and all that jazz

Each character has its own numerical code which everyone (or at least most people) agrees is the correct number to represent that character. Typically these numbers are automatically converted to their corresponding symbols so that you can actually read them, but in some operations it may be useful to get the unicode value of a symbol.

FULL SUPPORT, also they should add Unicode capability to forum threads and posts.

With chromebook, that is a thing. Unicode capability to forum threads and posts.
ctrl + u
then some numbers
then a space.
boom.
unicode.

Cloud Chatting is the Biggest threat for not adding this and also there is almost no problem in adding this as the cloud chatting can still be enable by using decoding lists. But i think it would make it way easier for people to make which worsens the projects.
