ewald said:"Continuous extension" of "soil" to me is Land.
Earth as soil to me doesn't express the space that is suggested in 2.0. Earth as planet or as "everywhere that one can go" is too abstract for the Yijing. The Yijing, as an oracle, is foremost concrete.
rosada said:We have been able to grow some vegetables here. I've noticed when I've eaten these foods I seem to get clear intuitions, as if the earth's wisdom is passed on through eating the plants. Plants that are sold at stores don't seem to effect me this way. Perhaps because they are grown far away, the information they carry isn't pertinent in this location, and thus not recognized..
rosada said:Aw, nice story, Bruce! "Life is too short not to be born Italian."
ewald said:In this sentence in Harmen's text:"Summarizing: the character 川 and its variants 巛, 𡿦 and 𡿭 "I'm seeing the first two Chinese characters, and question marks for the latter two.
I don't think it's a matter of particular settings of Firefox. It's also not a matter of using a particular browser. In Internet Explorer 6 I see squares instead of question marks, and I do see the other two characters. This has to do with the East Asian fonts that you have (or have not) installed on your computer. The two characters that aren't displayed are simply not available in the common fonts.
ewald said:Harmen - Isn't Simsun a font for Simplified Chinese?
According to Microsoft, IE is capable of dealing with UTF-16 since version 4.hmesker said:Firefox is able to work with UTF-16, which enables it to access these characters in the so-called 'second plane'. As far as I know IE cannot do this.
The proof of the pudding is in the eating. I have never seen IE display the characters from the extended set.ewald said:According to Microsoft, IE is capable of dealing with UTF-16 since version 4.
Yes, I think that's it.Perhaps you mean that Firefox has a better font fallback mechanism?
If it only concerns the two characters mentioned earlier, yes, I could. Otherwise it is too much work. But the two characters are also in this image:Harmen, I know this is a whole lot to ask, but could you make graphics of the more obscure characters?
