Unicode in source code can come with unwanted consequences. Tooling might be required.

Interesting set of tricks around UUIDs to make them easier to manipulate.

Neat walk through the Base64 encoding. It's very useful so it's better if it's well understood.

Very nice primer on how Unicode works. Definitely a must read and a good starting point. Definitely highlights properly some of the difficulties we need to deal with now and talks about the normalization forms.

An excellent explanation of the Unicode standard, complete with a bit of history. This is a good resource.

Still a bit young but looks like an interesting and fast tool to decode random data.

This is a cool encoding I find. Might come in useful sometimes.
