Can the Hk government ban these?
Honest question.

- dmix 7y agoBan what exactly?
- Lucadg 7y agoThey banned cryptography in Australia recently so we can't safely assume weird characters are safe neither.
- mdturnerphys 7y agoIf you're asking about an electronic ban, it's irrelevant since this is a recently invented character and is not represented in Unicode, etc.
- est 7y agoSince it's artificially crafted character, it's not part of unicode, therefore the transmission of the character will be through images, so to ban this character it's no different from banning Winnie the Pooh pictures, by using state-of-the-art deep neural networks to classify images. To avoid the ban, one has to use the most common characters which must be statistically insignificant to computer recognition programs, like how most network apps obfuscate their traffic to https.
