I think it's the ◀ character. It looks like Chrome (I'm on Windows) makes it wider than other Characters. I think ▶ has this same problem. But from a quick scan

I think it's the ◀ character. It looks like Chrome (I'm on Windows) makes it wider than other Characters. I think ▶ has this same problem. But from a quick scan, I don't see any other place in the file where one of those characters is used in a way that it being extra wide would be noticable.

I wish self packaging similar to how Google Fonts does it was easier to do. IE breaking up the don't into glyph segments to reduce unused characters for languages not used.

- junon 3y agoI've always wanted to try this but never had a reason: do emojis work on HN? I've never seen one and didn't know if it was just a culture thing or if it was enforced: ™ EDIT: Nope! All but the TM "emoji" got stripped.
