「福到了」字符（Fwd: Re: Upside Down Fu character）

來源：http://www.unicode.org/mail-arch/unicode-ml/y2012-m01 /thread.html#22

Unicode 聯盟在討論需不需要增加「福到了」字符。原提案說要加到 Enclosed
Ideographic Supplement（不太懂），我則是覺得這最多是跟 Unicode 6.0 的顏
文字擺一起。這招來了各式各樣的支持、反對意見（以「現有文字中不會出現這個
字符」為主的論調）與討論。包括「假如未來的世界是完全數位化的，要增加 字
符就不能再使用『現在非數位化媒體已使用這種字符，所以 Unicode 應該加上
他』這種論述，那未來要如何新增字符？」的這種疑問。

不過總之看起來還是會以到底多不多人想要並使用這個字符為重要關鍵，我個人會
投「不需要」，郵件群上有其他意見歡迎提供（最好附帶使用這個字符的 句子或
情景），不然我可能就提供「在一個中文世界討論標準的郵件群（public-html-
ig-zh）裡，三天沒有人支持。」這樣當做一個統 意。

（總的來說，這是 Unicode 郵件群的介紹文。話說，CSS 的行內 transform 有些
兼容問題，這邊也歡迎討論。）


此致

Say,

<span style="display:inline-block; transform: rotate(180);">福</span>到了

for the Web. You need to prefix "transform" ("-moz-", "-webkit-", etc.)
for the time being.

I am interested in the use case for such a character too. As a native
Chinese speaker, I don't recall seeing any in plain printed text. (I can
imagine creative novel writing using such a character but I just haven't
seen any).

For what's worth, the second most commonly used ideograph to be placed
upside down would be

春（spring） CJK UNIFIED IDEOGRAPH-6625


If we are really adding this character, depending on the use cases, this
character could probably go into the Emoji category and have a
surrounding diamond, to symbolize the poster. See [1] for pictures of
the posters.
