In my browser (Firefox on Windows), the thing between the quotes in the first block of code looks like a picture of the US flag cropped to a circle, not like the characters "us".
- yoyohello13 5y agoAh I see, I just opened it in firefox. It looks like some JS library is not getting loaded in Edge. The author was talking about "us", "so", etc. looking like one character and I thought I was going crazy, lol.
- da12 5y agoA whole lesson in Unicode in itself right there with your experience, haha!
- bialpio 5y agoReminds me of an image that renders differently on Macs (https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/technology/this-image-looks-very-different-on-apple-devices-see-for-yourself/ https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/technology/this-image-...), I bet it'd make for a fun conversation that could make the participants question their sanity. :-)
- masklinn 5y agoThere should not be any JS involved though, only a font able to render these grapheme clusters. Do you see the US flag after "copy and paste this emoji" on https://emojipedia.org/flag-united-states/ https://emojipedia.org/flag-united-states/?
- jfk13 5y agoI don't think that's about a JS library. Firefox bundles an emoji font that supports some things -- such as the flags -- that aren't supported by Segoe UI Emoji on Windows, so it has additional coverage for such character sequences.
- yoyohello13 5y agoThat makes sense. I saw a failure to load a JS module in the console and assumed that was part of the problem.
