Half is a new binary floating-point type in .NET 5 Preview 7 to speed up ML workflows
by Ather Fawaz
In .NET 5 Preview 7, Microsoft has now introduced another floating-point datatype alongside the standard Float and Double. Dubbed Half, the new datatype is equivalent to binary16, which is specified in the IEEE 754 standard for floating-point arithmetic.
Unlike Float and Double in C#, which occupy 32 bits and 64 bits respectively, Half will be based on 16 bits. These bits will be split as follows: one sign bit, five exponent bits, and 10 mantissa bits. Taken together, Half can represent and store values in the range ±65504. This decrease in precision is where the datatype gets its name from in the first place. One rather strange implication of this format is that a Half can store both positive zero and negative zero:
1 00000 0000000000 = -0 0 00000 0000000000 = +0 Computations in machine learning take advantage of the decreased precision to speed up calculations and cut down on storage space. So, this would probably be the primary use case for a Half. Furthermore, you will be able to store a Half using a Float or Double, but the inverse won't be true without a loss of precision since you will be transitioning to lesser bits. Moreover, it is to be noted that:
It is expected that the Half will find its way into many codebases and will soon be supported in C# as a half datatype as it promises faster computation and efficiency in ML workflows. Further details can be found here.

Question
;I want to use an online editor that supports both unicode and TT font, because TT fonts at: https://fontvilla.com/vaporwave-text/ are only supported for some layout tools and uniocde is supported for the browser editors. How can I transform it into a true style native font[ say ML Revathi or Karthika] when using a Unicode font[ mostly IME based Malayalam, India]. What encoding method can I use. It is better to have an example of experienced coding.
