Undid revision 979079891 by Peter M. Brown (talk) No idea what you are thinking. 960 WILL NOT turn into 448, it will either turn into 960 or 192. 448 will NOT turn into 960 (pi), it will either turn into 448 or 192. 448 is the glottal stop, but 192 (the only possible error) is À. |

Line 178:
:::::*for Unicode input purposes, the only point of knowing about equivalence modulo 256 (if it worked in Word etc.) is that, if one thought the number 666 accursed, one could produce the character {{char|ʚ}} using 154 or 410.

::I reverted your change to this talk because your edited version makes absolutely no sense. Nobody is suggesting any possible way that 960 will turn into 448, it will either turn into 960 or 192. Also your suggestion that modulus can go "backwards" and turn 154 into 666 is ludicrous (because 154, 410, 666, 922, 1178, ... are all possible answers and there is no reason to choose one of them, other than the first).
::The non-bmp text I stuck in there because of older text claiming more than 4 digits might not work. I found it doubtful that 9999 is the cutoff and that it was typical Windows stupidity about non-BMP which starts after 65335. It sounds like there is no such cutoff, either with 4 digits or at some point that requires more than 4 digits, so all such text is removed.[[User:Spitzak|Spitzak]] ([[User talk:Spitzak|talk]]) 18:20, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
