Grounded -
geerdet, erdgebunden.
Das da oben sind meine Füße, beim Paragliding zu dem ich in Hamburg recht wenige Gelegenheiten habe. Schade. Aber die Welt hat genug andere interessante Aspekte - einige davon gibt's hier.

how to test applications for their utf-8 capabilities
or: sǝıʇılıqɐdɐɔ 8-ɟʇn ɹıǝɥʇ ɹoɟ suoıʇɐɔılddɐ ʇsǝʇ oʇ ʍoɥ
If you are living in a country where the ASCII character set is often almost sufficient but you need to ensure that you can handle UTF-8 well - how do you ensure that? You might not know a language that uses "funny" characters enough to recognize the content that you need to enter to test if it is handled correctly.
Some time ago I've found a way to intuitively decide if text content is correctly handled: Just flip it upside down using strange utf-8 characters. Immediately recognizable, somewhat funny and easy to use.
Caveat: You need a font that supports the characters. If this article contains itself upside down, at least your browser uses such a font. Hint: goto http://fliptitle.com/
