Actually, there are a lot of hidden subtleties in that comic strip : 2995: University Commas - explain xkcd[^]

Any UNICODE experts here?

Dunno if I'm an expert, but I do know the difference between UTF-8, UTF-16, UTF-32, etc. and what a code page is actually used for (for non-Unicode).

If there are, are there different code points for each type of comma?

If it's a different glyph it's always a different code point. An easy way to verify this is to copy and paste any text you want into a text file, save it as Unicode, and inspect the text file in a hex editor. Edit: Just read the comic after writing this :doh:, he's using the same comma for the comic strip. He's just being silly with all the crap we go through to not agree on stuff. :laugh:

Comma nyleen?

[Mircea Neacsu]

A short search through Unicode code chart shows Arabic comma, reversed comma, medieval comma, ideographic comma, Georgian comma, Ehtiopic comma, and so on. Sadly there is no Oxford comma :laugh:

Wow, bit of a stretch. Nice try though :laugh:

You seem to be a Comma Chameleon.

A fact (nowhere near as funny as your post): In Modern Greek ";" is a question mark! I do believe it does have its own codepoint.
