It’s impossible to represent that on paper. It could be misrepresented as a specific number of spaces. Depending on the position on the paper, it may also be hard to tell if the carriage return comes with the line feed. Unless you want the document to be in ASCII or EBCDIC hex, it’s like writing an ambiguous math problem where the answer is different depending on how you were taught about the order of operations. Don’t do this to your kid, Abcde.
Anyone remember when Chrome had that issue with validating nested URL-encoded characters? Anyone for John%%80%80 Doe?
C programmers would ask whether a null-terminated name would be acceptable
I’m not american and I’m glad I’m not but intended if someone could enter a bunch of zero width spaces
Once I was tasked with doing QA testing for an app which was planned to initially go live in the states of Georgia and Tenessee. One of the required fields was the user’s legal name. I therefore looked up the laws on baby names in those two states.
Georgia has simple rules where a child’s forename must be a sequence of the 26 regular Latin letters.
Tenessee seemed to only require that a child’s name was writable under stone writing system, which would imply any unicode code point is permissible.
At the time, I logged a bug that a hypothetical user born in Tenessee with a name consisting of a single emoji couldn’t enter their legal name. I reckon it would also be legal to call a Tenessee baby 'John '.
im sure the devs tasked at fixing that bug loved u ;-)
Sounds like you did a thorough job as a QA tester. As a software engineer, I love to see it.

No, cause “John\nDoe” messes up my regex. Sorry, out of the question. I’m not good with regex.
no one is “good” with regex.
Then who’s coming up with all the bits that I copy/paste off the internet? The regex dragon?
From what I’ve seen, it’s Cthulhu.
There was only one, we’re all still copying from him or her.
Can I kill someone who wants to do this? How do I legally get away with it?
Plead permanent sanity. If I was the judge I would let you go.
Plead permanent sanity.
temporary sanity is the best I can manage these days.
Of myself of the now dead purpetrator?
Thanks bro
I gotchu
why settle for \n when you can go for the stylish carriage return
so
John\r Doe? depending on the software, when it gets printed, the carriage return will moves the cursor to the start of the line without moving a line down, becoming\x20Doe.This is the ideal rendition, I would say. On a related note, I just love it when there are backspaces in my filenames
¿Porqué no los dos? A nice \r\n, Windows style.
Gotta band it Windows tho, it just feels right, I want to enjoy my fake typewriter

Y’all need to learn how to sanitize your inputs!
Not legal in Sweden. Our “IRS” must also accept the name and deem it legal.
I for one like this. As it stops some very stupid people to name their children some very stupid names. Such as “Adolf Hitler”.
And yes. Someone did try to name their child this and they were appropriately stoped from doing it.
ugh literally 1984
If only Sweden invaded the rest of the world instead of Russia… *le sigh*
I accept our new Scandinavian overlords. But I would rather have it be Finland.
Akchtually, Finland is not a Scandinavian country properly.
Fuck that, we think it is in the US. And we’re the only people who matter on the internet.
Eh, if they went imperial they would be subject to imperial needs leading to all the usual imperial problems.
Funny enough. Sweden already went through that problem. We call it “Age of Greatness”. (Stormaktstiden)
Basically. Sweden got too big too fast, couldn’t maintain an army large enough to secure everything. If i remember correctly, we couldn’t produce enough food, and we lost a bunch of territory.
What, inconsistent units? /s
Should have went with Adolf Olivernipples
Not legal in Canada. Your legal name must use Latin characters only. This is a sore point for indigenous people.
Hello my name is JohnDoe. My name only contains Latin characters, no spaces allowed.
Ah, but you see, “John” and “Doe” are two names - first and last - and when you say “My name is”, you’re really listing out your names, with spaces inbetween!
But then there’s hyphenated names, and I have no idea how those are treated.
"John Doe"vs["John", "Doe"]vs{"firstName":"John", "lastName":"Doe"}console.log(Object.values(name).join("\n"));
Could be…“Jondo” like, a mononym hahaha.
The Romans also had spaces in between words
But did they have lowercase?
EDIT: Hello my name is JOHN DOE. Only latin characters allowed
But did they have
lowercaseenglish language?Salve! John Doe nomen meum est.
Only latin
charactersallowed(That’s all the latin I remember from school back then)
I was under the impression that that was actually a medieval invention
This comment made me learn. Thank you.
What was used to delineate words before the space character, then?
Nothing but understanding of words and sentences. It was kind of a whole thing. The space character was revolutionary to increasing the spread of literacy. Relevant
Or for those that just want to read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scriptio_continua
Did the Romans not use line breaks?
No, they didn’t even use the space to separate words. Take a look at any Roman inscription in Italy, there are no spaces between the words (just like there are no silent pauses between spoken words).
boustrophedon must make a comeback
Blank spaces arent characters by definition as they’re the space that allows the letters to exist
Deep. Is Python a form of Jazz?
Yes, and YAML is a war crime.
Which is both entirely understandable, and also tragic because Canada’s indigenous written characters are so cool. :D
But also, it’s gotta be neat having a name among your people, that “the state” has nothing to do with…
