Arch vs Éséka

Informations

An arch is a vertical curved structure that spans an elevated space and may or may not support the weight above it, or in case of a horizontal arch like an arch dam, the hydrostatic pressure against it. Arches may be synonymous with vaults, but a vault may be distinguished as a continuous arch forming a roof.

Arches appeared as early as the 2nd millennium BC in Mesopotamian brick architecture, and their systematic use started with the ancient Romans, who were the first to apply the technique to a wide range of structures.

Mojibake (Wen Zi Hua ke, IPA: [modzibake]), is the uncodified text result of text being decoded with an unintended character encoding. This is the systematic replacement of symbols by completely unrelated symbols, often using a different writing system. In places where the binary representation has been invalidated, this display can include the generic replacement character (). Multiple consecutive symbols can be substituted if the binary code is used in both encodings. This could be due to different constant length encodings (e.

g. Asian 16-bit encoders vs European eight-bit encoders) or variable length encoders (such as UTF-8 or UTF-16). Failed rendering of glyphs is caused by missing fonts, or missing glyphs within a font. This is a separate issue and should not be confused with mojibake. Blocks with the code point displayed as hexadecimal, or using the generic substitute character are signs of failed rendering. These replacements are valid, and the result of the correct error handling by software.
