I kind of love Unicode. There are so many stories hidden within all the codepoints, and so much strange complexity.

I want this tool to be somewhere at the intersection of “useful” and “fun.” You might want to just paste a string that’s giving you trouble, but not just that. Hopefully, you will also want to click around, learn, explore. I want information, but I also want stories.

This is meant to be a site for nerds, but specifically not Unicode nerds. (Many sites for Unicode nerds, filled with technical info and jargon already exist!)

Replied to Quirky content considerations in RSS feeds by Jeremy Felt (jeremyfelt.com)

Another goofy example is emojis. WordPress provides full support for the capture and storage of emojis as well as a compatibility layer using the Twemoji project. This layer replaces raw emojis in content with hosted images on s.w.org. The pizza emoji becomes this in the feed.

Jeremy, I was reading your discussion of Emojis and wondering what you process was to implement Tweoji exactly? I have tried in vain to implement :shortcode: rather than depend upon copying or inserting images. I know Chris Beckstrom has achieved this, however I did not have so much luck.
Replied to No webmentions to original URLs that include emojis (BoffoSocko)

I’ve found a few instances in which Brid.gy will apparently fail to send a webmention (and/or fail to find a target) when the original URL contains an emoji(s). I’d suspect it’s a quirky encoding issue of some sort. I’m sure I’ve seen this issue before on Instagram where it’s probably more likely as the result of emojis in Instagram “titles” when using PESOS methods. When I subsequently remove the emoji from the permalink, and reprocess Bridgy then has no problem finding the URL and sending the webmention. So at least there’s a “fix” on the user’s side for those experiencing this issue, but only if they’re aware it exists and have the means of executing it. Example of failed webmention: (I’ll note that it’s also got a fragment # in the URL, but don’t think this is a part of the issue) Original: F0%9F%93%85-virtual-homebrew-website-club-meetup-on-may-15-2019/?replytocom=262215#respond Syndicated copy that was liked:

This issue with webmentions and emojis is the reason when I manually set each slug, because what I was finding was that my posts were not pinging. However, when I used the permalink then it worked. For example:

:synth: !!! working on adding custom emoji to my wordpress site… if I type `:synth:` it should be converted into a little image of a synthesizer, like this: :synth: (hopefully it works). What happens if this also gets posted to my Pleroma instance?

This is something that I would love to add to my site. Instead of pasting in the emoji I could write :thump_up: and it would translate. In part I have never really had the time to dig in. Did you add something to your child theme?
