Fair enough, I remember being sceptical myself when I first read about that. Well, learnt something new today, at least. (In that WP article I see that wire-guided war devices are much older invention than I thought.)

I see delightful unintended layer of irony in a fact that what the page really uses for the Emoji display are in fact image elements: JavaScript on that page replaces Unicode text with them. So the main heading content It’s Not Wrong

That's strange; the `head` and `footer` nodes were present in the XSL template this morning [1], last GH change was Feb 13 [2], what matches curl --head --silent --url https://xsl-website.widloski.com/template.xsl

Haven't read the book yet, but isn't that more like a matter of the font/rendering engine? I have a murky notion that for Cyrillic, for example, there are some nuances in rendering certain glyphs in cursive between languages

True. And interestingly, the term "emoticon" was used both for the basic "ASCII" and fancy graphical representation. And while some "ASCII" sequences were present on multiple platforms, the meaning quite unsurp
