  Making stupid fucking emoji.

    They accept suggestions, and people suggest emoji. So suggest something that isn't emoji and it'll likely be accepted and added to the next version.

        Suggest the characters that you feel are missing... Was I not clear?

        Hmm, it looks like the discussion about emoji has been removed/moderated from the page? Anyway, my point was only that if someone is unhappy that emojis are being added, then proposing new non-emojis doesn't really solve their problem.

  There's actually Unicode and CSS support for it, but it just isn't widely integrated / used. https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%9C%8F%E7%82%B9 https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%9C%8F%E7%82%B9

  Writing horizontally the dot would be above, so I'd assume there's support by composition. It would still be a problem of IME and font support. On input, there's already so many shortcuts and hacks (e.g. SHIFT/CAPS is already taken to force switch from hiragana to katakana) that it's hard to imagine some natural combination that could be memorized. On the font side, there's already the battle raging for having proper jp fonts in smarphones instead of the chinese ones, so additional support for marginal features is an uphill battle to say the least.

If you're ANGRY can you put several dots?

The CSS text-emphasis property seems to work in both Safari and Firefox: data:text/html,<div style="font:16px monospace; text-emphasis:red filled circle">Hello World Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be supported in Chrome yet.

  Delighted by learning this little hack for showing an html thing that you can just paste into the address bar. Thanks for showing it to me :)

    you might also like the instant text editor tab data:text/html, <textarea style="font-size: 1.5em; width: 100%; height: 100%; border: none; outline: none; font-family:monospace" autofocus /> mostly useless but I like it

      Very short version: data:text/html, <body contenteditable>

        You can also paste into a <body contenteditable>. When you land on a site with a delayed paywall, you can copy out the content just before the popup, and then paste it into <body contenteditable> to view at your own leisure.
