I am honestly surprised that frog + gun isn't on the list.
I thought that was the meme that started the thing + gun.
edit: I also discovered that HN comments don't support utf8 emojis
- microcolonel 9y agoYeah, I think it's for the best that there's no support for emoji on HN, it's a great relief to me at least.
- digi_owl 9y agoOnly potential positive i see is that it allows us to curse like comic book sailors online...
- RugnirViking 9y agoThanks for the idea, I need to find a good place to use this haha
- igravious 9y agoHmm. evil plan. Browser plugin (Tampermonkey?) plus user script which brings :smiley: :pistol: and co. to life on HN.
- vortico 9y agoI'm curious, what unicode sets are supported on Hacker News? Did the creators explicitly decide on certain sets, or was the decision made for them based on their programming environment / database?
- microcolonel 9y agoI think it's at least the basic multilingual plane, the supplementary multilingual plane, and the supplementary ideographic plane. Maybe not all of each of these. I think many emoji are in the SMP on the 1F000–1FFFF range, some of the original ones (primarily added to translate proprietary Japanese character sets) are in the BMP.

- evan_ 9y agoI have never heard of, or at least attributed any special meaning to frog + gun. What's the meaning? I think if you give people a picture of a gun they're going to figure out pretty quickly that they can make it "point" at things, no real "meme starter" necessary.
