Imagine like using static with smaller colors and the combinations make more color?

Okay so i did more testing and character code 65536 is the same as 0, 65537 is the same as 1 and so on

this is probably because the characters are stored as 16-bit numbers and 65536 is 2\*\*16

yes, it is because they are 16 bits (2^16 = 65536, upper limit is 65535 or 0xFFFF), but there are more than that. idk what method of number to string you are using, but it’s likely using utf 16. if it is, [this](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.fileformat.info/info/charset/UTF-16/list.htm&ved=2ahUKEwjog_mY4bmVAxXoLVkFHZVaEbsQFnoECBwQAQ&usg=AOvVaw1FhqYxxLALD4Z1qjpVLOkw) is the complete list. there are 1,112,064 total characters.

Alright, guys, I kind of hit a massive writer’s block when designing my riddles. So I decided to take a break from that stuff, and then I thought of a new gimmick/idea to try out.

I was thinking that every now and then (plan on a Monthly schedule), I would post a readable text that each focuses on a different/specific **marvel of software engineering** (e.g., Google Search algorithm) and talks about how they work without having to go into depth about the technical code. Given that we’re in a community full of programmers + developers, I figured that this was worth a shot.

So I was mainly wondering what y’all MakeCoders thought about this idea and whether I should go through with it or not.
