Shiki winter kigo haiku 1896
Here is a screenshot of the Curl applet with the Masaoka Shiki winter kigo haiku from 1896 in utf-8 character encoding (Unicode.)
Some 500 haiku converted from SH-JIS encoding and indexed in a Curl browser applet.
TEI Japanese HTML character encoding
Is there any longer a good reason for funded text initiatives on the web NOT to be UTF-8 Unicode ?
TEI at http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/japanese/hyakunin/frames/index/hyaku3euc.html#euc2 has a Japanese poetry page with a click-driven "swiping frames" metaphor - one of which is a view showing the kanji for haiku, waka or tanka in the char-encoding CHARSET=x-euc-jp
Oi vey!
CHARSET=x-euc-jp ?!? No, not HTML from a server in Kyoto. The server is in VA. In collaboration with academics in PA.
There is an anti-pattern documented for this IT phenomenon in projects within organizations exempt from accountability and competitive pressure or managerial consequences ( and perhaps 2 or more anti-patterns specific to this web design and its survival on this academic web site.)
Ah, the peaceful, never over-loaded servers of e-text initiatives in academe ! Concurrent user load ? Not a worry.
