I greatly enjoyed writing and sending in entries to the recent Unicode Haiku Contest. Over the course of a week I found the contest an inspiration for creative writing.
One of my entries could perhaps usefully be conserved as the basis for a Technical Report about entering Unicode text using a telephone, in particular a land-line telephone that has only twelve buttons, namely digits 0 through to 9, star and octothorpe. The method does not make use of the octothorpe button.
Alt code then a star
Enter text by telephone
Extra star to end!
A Technical Report would need an explanation of an Alt code and so on and a few examples, yet the haiku seems to have everything a person with knowledge of Unicode and Alt codes would need to use the method.
