On the one hand I feel like the #WARNING_SIGN is a welcome addition. On the other, I'm sensitive to the idea that it will be totally obnoxious if you need to grep/search for it in whatever tool you're using.
Was a little surprised to learn that the warning sign is generally considered an Emoji; I guess I don't think of it that way. Was even more surprised to learn that there is no great definition for what constitutes an Emoji. The term doesn't seem to have much meaning in Unicode. The warning sign - U+26A0 - goes all the way back to Unicode version 4.0 and is in the BMP, whereas most Emoji are in the SMP.
- codeshaunted 2y agoHow will it output on my VT100 serial terminal? :P Somewhat related fun fact, anyone can submit an emoji to the Unicode Consortium annually, submissions are actually open right now: https://unicode.org/emoji/proposals.html https://unicode.org/emoji/proposals.html.

The term doesn't seem to have much meaning in Unicode The definition is messy, but the list of Unicode emojis is defined.

- bonzini 2y agoIt's only an emoji if followed by the "emoji presentation selector" U+FE0F. Without it, it has no colors (but hackernews doesn't allow including it).
