"The ◊ character is called a lozenge. In Pollen, the lozenge is a special character that marks anything Pollen should interpret as a command (rather than plain text).
How to type a lozenge:
Mac: option + shift + V
Windows: holding down alt, type 9674 on the num pad
Ubuntu: ctrl + shift + U, then 25CA"
That's an unfortunate choice, imo. Pollen looks great but I wouldn't want to have to type that character all the time.
Sorry to nitpick, I think everything else I've seen (so far) is very encouraging. Looks like something halfway between Markdown and LaTeX.

- evincarofautumn 12y agoIf our languages never stray outside of ASCII, then our input methods will never improve. The Emacs version is not much better: C-x 8 RET loz[enge] or C-x 8 RET 25CA Which suck, but can at least be rebound to a useful key. Unfortunately, the \lozenge command in TeX mode produces U+2727 “white four pointed star”. Sigh.
