And still no external link character, ridiculous.

  Hm, now that you mention it, I always thought of the external link symbol as being a box with an arrow coming from inside it and protruding out of the upper right hand corner, but I don't see that symbol anywhere in Unicode, and I'm not sure why I have that association. There is the U+1F517 link symbol but I'm not sure that's communicating the same thing.

    I often see a globe symbol used to indicate external links; i.e. U+1F310, U+1F30D, U+1F30E, or U+1F30F.
