ROT-8000 is only touching the first 65536 Unicode characters (UCS-2). Unicode has >1M code points. [0] Most emojis seem to be above the first 16 bits. [1] But there are a number of emojis in the first 16 bits, like the "frowning face" emoji at U+2639 -- it rotates just fine -- plus others in the first 16 bits. (TIL you can't paste emojis into HN comment threads. Probably all for the best.)

> TIL you can't paste emojis into HN comment threads. Probably all for the best. I'm gonna make a HN where you can only speak in Emoji! Sorta unrelated, does anyone remember the social network where you could only write in Emoji? http://emoj.li/ http://emoj.li/

    If your question isn’t answered, you could post all of them in a comment and see which ones remain unfiltered. https://unicode.org/emoji/charts/full-emoji-list.html https://unicode.org/emoji/charts/full-emoji-list.html https://unicode.org/emoji/charts/full-emoji-modifiers.html https://unicode.org/emoji/charts/full-emoji-modifiers.html You might need to split the text over multiple comments. Don’t remember whether or not there is a limit to the length a comment can have. Probably there is.

      I may try that. It seems a little arbitrary. I can post, for example: ↙️ ↩️ ⌚ ⌛ ⌨ ⏏ ⏩ ⏰ ️⏱ ⏲ ⏳ ️◾ 󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

  There is a wonderful talk by the founders of emoj.li about how it was all a joke which got out of hand. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsyhGHUEt-k https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsyhGHUEt-k

It seems you can type them in natively, though edit: scratch that, they get stripped out.
