Tell PG: When I submitted this article, HN stripped the "!" characters out of the title...but I was then able to edit the story and put them back in there. I suppose that means there's a small bug in there somewhere...

You can also use Unicode in comments, which may or ʎɐɯ ʇou be a bug but did surprise me.

  Why on earth would the ability to use unicode in comments be a bug? Seems like a basic feature of any modern site.

It's probably a feature not a bug, designed to automatically de-sensationalize sensationalist titles!!!

  Good point (I don't like sensational titles either) -- but shouldn't HN disallow you to edit the title and put them back in then?

    Few people would come back and add the sensation back. If they do, they must have thought about it and been more rational.

i think it's because editing doesn't apply the mysterious scrubrules, might be intentional.
