the hn vote arrow is not a sprite - it's a single image, displayed rotated 180 degrees for the downvote. https://news.ycombinator.com/grayarrow.gif https://new

  Huh, I always thought it was an alt code character...

    it could be. i don't know why they use a gif instead. i usually keep HN at 125% zoom and the vote arrows look really terrible.
