screwlisp

Hey everyone. I must admit, I don't believe I have ever seen someone enter #utf8 #unicode characters on a #computer in a natural way. Which seems weird, because a bunch of languages use them.

I wrote a #commonLisp #asdf package that just looks up a list of symbols in a file that has every non-surrogate unicode codepoint in it, and an #emacs #elisp function that just calls the #lisp one.

Multilingual people, what can you tell me about doing this at all?

A screenshot of a readme showing (unsy '(sta si)) returning ("⍣" |#x2363| 9059 #\APL_FUNCTIONAL_SYMBOL_STAR_DIAERESIS "->⍣<-") and (multiple-value-list (unget:unsy '(sta si) '(apl))) returning ("✶" |#x2736| 10038 #\SIX_POINTED_BLACK_STAR "->✶<-")
