If that needless repetition was an overly ambigious critique, I'll back up to ask again the why that you did not answer.

I asked, why is this–

Since when did "\N{U+5678}" work as an alternative to "\x{5678}"?

n/t

–is inferior to this–

Since when did "\N{U+5678}" work as an alternative to "\x{5678}"?

Since when did "\N{U+5678}" work as an alternative to "\x{5678}"?

You answer apparently is, "Because. Also, if we just side-step the question and context for a moment and extrapolate to all posts ever and pretend like the word title doesn't mean something, it's obvious you're wrong to even ask why this OP was offensive."

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
