What is the "unicode tapeworm operator"? Google didn't yield much more than this post?

  Yeah, I would like to know as well. I tried googling, but got the same results as you.

  You know the "ç" character? Well, that thing on the bottom is called a cedilla, and in Unicode you can attach a cedilla to anything. Şȩȩ?̧ You can even attach it to the 💩 character. The result looks like this: 💩̧ In Perl 6, you can make anything into an operator. For example, you can write a summation function and assign it to the Σ operator. The "unicode tapeworm operator" puts these two concepts together.

  Try this: perl -C -E 'say "\x{1F4A9}\x{0327}"'

  It is the Unicode Pile of Poo [1] with a Combining Cedilla [2]. In Perl 6, a language that makes Haskell look shy with its operators, you can presumably make this into an operator. You definitely can with the pile of poo itself [3], but I don't know if throwing a combining character in there does anything bad since I've never done it myself.
