Archived — superseded announcement
Unicode support was news in March 2022. It has been standard in NLP++ and the NLP Engine ever since, so there is no longer a separate “Unicode version” to download — and the VisualText IDE this refers to is retired.
Current: UTF-8, including emoji, works throughout the NLP++ Language Extension for VS Code.
Kept for the record. See the VisualText archive.
A Unicode version of the NLP-Engine and VisualText are now available for download and use.
NLP++ can now use standard UTF8 characters including emojis both in NLP++ rules and knowledge base allowing for processing of the major languages around the world.
Intern Project and University Projects
LexisNexis HPCC-System supercomputer platform is awarding several paid internships to students at universities that will involve such foreign languages a Kurdish, Chinese, Spanish, Portuguese and English.
See VisualText creator David de Hilster’s blog article “The Hidden World of Unicode – From Text to Emojis” on Unicode on the HPCC Systems Platform Blog.
