bottom-applescript 🥺

An implementation* of the bottom text encoding spec in AppleScript.

*Major caveat

I can't find a way to get the bytes from a string in pure AppleScript. So this pretty much only works for ASCII characters :'( I also tried messing around with ASOC & NSString but I couldn't get it to work.

If anyone else is masochistic enough to try then please do 🥺👉👈

Note: Script Editor by default saved the scripts as .scpt files which are binary. I have uploaded the text versions as well which end in .applescript.

How to use

Place bottomify.scpt and debottomify.scpt into your Script Libraries folder.

Example script using it:

set plainText to text returned of (display dialog "Text to be bottom-ified🥺:" default answer "" buttons {"👉👈"} default button "👉👈" with title "Bottom Text")

tell script "bottomify"
	set bottomText to bottomify(plainText)
end tell

display dialog bottomText with title "Bottom Text" buttons {"uwu"} default button {"uwu"}

I now hate AppleScript.
