Huh, I thought HN stripped out emojis from posts. Has that changed, or is there a limited subset that are available?

- croes 5y agoMaybe because ■ is part if ASCII? Edit: ⬛⬜ work, the colored ones don't.

- wizzwizz4 5y ago⬛ and ■ are different characters. But it looks like HN still strips most emoji.
- user-the-name 5y agoIt is definitely not part of ASCII.
- zerocrates 5y agoThe black and white squares are in the older Unicode "Miscellaneous Symbols and Arrrows" block so I guess they're allowed. Several things like that are sort of "retroactively" emoji... there's a "display as emoji" or "display as text" character you can put after them. What HN does and doesn't allow seems somewhat arbitrary, things like the star emoji are in that same block and yet are not allowed as far as I can tell.
