@lorenschmidt @frozenpandaman @FakeUnicode I did some research about how browsers obey variation selectors and forced fonts and summarised them around here: (tl;dr: yes, inconsistent even for glyphs that are told to be "monochromatizable" by Unicode standard.) x.com/myfonj/status/…

pet peeve: as technological detritus from the era when every corporation was trying to cash in on the popularity of emoji, many unicode characters now are automatically replaced with emoji variants. even in text editors.
It is a travesty that newspapers and typefaces no longer support the "AP" ligature. @AP @FakeUnicode

YOOOO for the last like month and a half I kept thinking “I hate this box notation so much, but I guess it is like super conventional”. It turns out my computer just does not render the actual symbols…
.@FakeUnicode What is the character ⦽ (U+29BD) used for? It looks like an APL overstruck operator but I can't find any programming languages that use it. Googling the character only seems to return results for Unicode charts and also people using the character in ornamental text
Anyone aware of a #JavaScript library that sanitizes Unicode characters? I'm looking for something that replaces them with a meaningful replacement. For example, it'd replace ’ with ', ff with ff, etc. #nodejs
Unicode shenanigans @FakeUnicode
Unicode thanks Blue Blocker, our newest Silver Sponsor! #UnicodeSponsor unicode.org/consortium/ado…
@velasc_alberto Potser que hi posi el mateix en aquest ganivet Tuareg, mercadejat a l'Ahaggar (Hoggar) a mitjan dels 80? @incunabula @FakeUnicode @SpecialXaracter …do you recognize this script (alphabet), perhaps is Tifinagh?
It's no exaggeration to say I was obsessed with Pee Wee Herman as a little kid. Pee Wee's Big Adventure is a perfect comedy and I still I reference this moment all the time.
Yesterday, a court ruled that this🌝emoji could constitute securities fraud:

I've noticed that getting Unicode right is harder than it should, often because people are not aware of some of the complexities behind it. I've written a blog post to (hopefully) shine a light on some of it: mcilloni.ovh/2023/07/23/uni… Hope it helps!
"Hello, Shitpost Seller, I am going into twitter and I want your strongest bad takes." "My bad takes are too strong for you, poster."
not interested in bluesky. "same guy but he thinks he can do it worse this time" is not what i'm looking for
bold move to change twitter's logo to a close button. best decision he's made so far

@FakeUnicode @ManishEarth @TedMielczarek @tabatkins @tesseralis He's working on it.
@FakeUnicode @jack Ah. Display name changes were always allowed. Username changes though required re-verification, which is what that Tweet is referring to.
@FakeUnicode Live from my corner of the internet: :opens a new tab: :creates a new google doc: 😇 Write your Talk Topic 💕 👿 Write an Emoji Proposal for Blank Emoji Spacer Exactly The Width of Other Emoji And Not Whitespace Because It Doesn't Break Or Wrap ⚡️
i do not find "no i need everything to be able to be null at any time so i can feel smart for making that not crash my program constantly" to be a compelling language design philosophy
i used to know so many tech guys, and that just isn't the case any more. half of them are girls now
@FakeUnicode @guicho271828 @stefanjudis Unicode = One Code: One Code to rule them all, One Code to find them, One Code to bring them all and in the darkness bind them, in the land of computing where the text encodings lie.
@colin_p_hill Screen-readers tend to announce emojis using their official names—and if it may help, this table shows the official Unicode name for each emoji: unicode.org/emoji/charts/f… And the screen readers that I’ve tested haven’t had issues with zero-width-joiner emojis. cc @FakeUnicode
@FakeUnicode @sigilante So that's what life would have been like if I had invented the finglonger...
Because every time I suggest maybe not mis-using Unicode in tweets there is a non-zero number of responses blaming screen readers: adrianroselli.com/2021/10/blamin… It is tiring. Just show some consideration to your fellow human. Your tweet does not need to be fake-bold.
@FakeUnicode @jenniferdaniel i will take the bribe option. this is a worthy emoji in a year of endless lockdowns. who do i give the paper bag full of cash and which alleyway do we meet in
Everyone's fav anonymous fake unicode twitter account, @FakeUnicode, tweeted a series of charts that lived rent-free in my head for years. x.com/fakeunicode/st…
♥❤🧡💛💚💙💜🖤 Ugh. The color heart distribution across vendor implementations sucks for color wheel (CMYK/RGBW) coverage. We need a CYAN (turquoise) and to urge vendors to move the current blue-cyan to blue. Green is too yellow. Purple should be MAGNETA. [images: @Emojipedia]
Once, @FakeUnicode referred to me as the "Emoji Dentist" (filling in gaps and holes) which was super nice and sounds a lot more dignified than "Janitor" which is how I introduce myself when people ask. At best, I'm a Winston Wolfe/Will Hunting hybrid. Sanitation is important!
@FakeUnicode @GPHemsley @zacchiro @n8willis @w3c I am... so conflicted. This feels like a digital ship of theseus situation. Is it even the same message if the original bytes have been swapped out for modern equivalents?
Please do continue sharing and reminding people in the thread that empathy is important. This isn't about whether screen readers/twitter should be fixed. It's about what the experience of people is really like today and that by using characters like these you're harming people.
