/prog/ - ascii or unicode?

Name: Anonymous 2011-05-11 18:22

how would you rather display unicode on html pages?

would you use the actual unicode in the source code: μ

or would you use ascii html entity: μ

what are the pros and cons?

I would use the code because a lot of programs are bitches and will fuck up with UTF-8 or unicode encoding and at least using the code avoids some of that

As for HTML, μ is three times the size of μ. Think about that. If you're posting lots of SJIS art, that will multiply to very huge filesizes. If.
