Wake up, first thing that pops into my head, "I should check HN" (normally it's imgur, yeah bad habits).
Number one post is the Linking Sigil. Neat.
If you know, you know.
As for how a chaos magick symbol concocted in the 21st century ended up in a 1994 font spec, clearly discordians used the power of fnord to retcon it.

- firstcommentyo 4y agoIm sorry to be a party pooper but though Linking Sigil is also mentioned in the article but that's not what the article is refering/asking about.
- bckr 4y agoHmm, the article links to the Linking Sigil at the bottom, in the links section. But the rest of the article is concerned with how mysterious the symbol is, and how no one knows where it came from. A clue: anyone can register a symbol for a surprisingly small fee. A question: why would the sigil be mentioned in an addendum but not in the article proper? Anyway, it's pretty obvious that GP had a premonition this morning, with a pay off.

- kortex 4y agoThere's a process for it. I'm not sure it costs anything but it's a bunch of paperwork. You have to justify what it's used for, why existing solutions don't work, etc. The working group is probably pretty reasonable, but I'm sure it's an involved process. If you do, can you please tack on symbols for following external links, space bar symbol, and all the other miscellaneous internet adjacent characters I always have to reach to Fontawesome for? http://www.unicode.org/pending/proposals.html http://www.unicode.org/pending/proposals.html
