fantastic new id design, using chinese chars
import math # chinese chars in unicode cjk block range chinese_char_count = 40959 - 19968 + 1 print("chinese_char_count") print(chinese_char_count) # 20992 chinese_id_length = 9 chinese_id_space_size = chinese_char_count**chinese_id_length print("chinese id space size") print(chinese_id_space_size) # 4075356853195798845951 uuidTotal = 16**32 print("uuidTotal") print(uuidTotal) # need this many chinese chars to be equal power as uuid print( math.log(uuidTotal, chinese_char_count )) # 8.9151688225701
