First time I ever see an Emoji on Hacker News. Are they not filtered out anymore?
- whiteboardr 4y agoThought the same - nice : )
- mixmastamyk 4y agoNot an emoji, but black heart changed by font. Black meaning solid: U+2665 ♥ BLACK HEART SUIT Other card suits: ♠ ♦ ♣
- jwilk 4y agoIt kinda is emoji… https://unicode.org/reports/tr51/#Emoji_Characters https://unicode.org/reports/tr51/#Emoji_Characters says emoji character is "a character that has the Emoji property". Let's check: $ perl -MUnicode::UCD=charprop -E "say charprop(0x2665, 'emoji')" Yes But then, even some ASCII characters have this property, so maybe it's not a very reasonable definition.
- k__ 4y agoAren't emojis exactly that?
- mixmastamyk 4y agoUnicode Emojis are from higher block made of four bytes each in utf8. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plane_(Unicode)#Supplementary_Multilingual_Plane https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plane_(Unicode)#Supplementary_... These are more like "wingdings," older and take three bytes. U+2667 ♧ e2 99 a7 WHITE CLUB SUIT U+1F574 X f0 9f 95 b4 MAN IN BUSINESS SUIT LEVITATING (Second one was stripped out.)
- Wowfunhappy 4y agoIt’s likely a bug. Iirc dang has posted before that filtering out emoji while allowing most of unicode isn’t entirely simple. The heart is also weird in that the symbol was in unicode before most emoji (but it would typically be black and somewhat smaller).
- _benj 4y agoI mean… first link I clicked as soon as I opened HN. I think my primate brain is attracted to colors ♥ Need to open the post and actually read it now!
