Swift is not the only language which recognizes it as a single grapheme, Erlang does as well: > string:length(" ️"). 1 Indeed it considers it as a single grapheme made of 5 code points: > string:to_graphemes(" ️").

HN bans most emoji. That's pretty annoying on a post like this. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17508962 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17508962 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19482991 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19482991

Not just "emoji" either, it bans random codepoints it doesn't consider "textual" enough and rather than tell you they're just removed from the comment when submitting leaving you to find out your comment is completely broken. It's infuriating.
