I'm guessing you mean on a desktop? On my Android phone, Firefox renders each letter as a grey box. Had to switch to Chrome to see the actual text :(
Seen a few comments like this. Old Version of Android? Because my FF on Android 8.1 renders it flawlessly.

#163HN is a plain-text site, so we originally buried this. But then we got an email we couldn't refuse (see below). So have at it. All: Please don't submit stories with non-plaintext titles, and please don't post non-plaintext comments in other threads.

blind mathematicians don't write english to communicate in these unicode blocks... These blocks don't exist to be used for writing words in the english language.
Yes, I just mean to say, if you were creating a screen reader, it wouldn't be that hard to take this sort of thing into account. So, maybe they do. Either way, I'll add a little warning to the site.

#167I'm just seeing black boxes with X marks inside. Can't read a thing. This is on chrome on my Moto G4.
Update your browser (or install firefox mobile) - works just fine on my motog
Anyway, the point of my post was to show that "you can use almost anywhere" should be taken with an appropriate amount of salt. I take a spoonful.

#168Doesn't seem to work on Android devices. All I see is missing unicode characters. Roboto doesn't seem to have have these glyphs. On Mac, most of the glyps in the title seem to be from STIX font.

Ah yes.. The old "if you were creating , it wouldn't be that hard to take this sort of thing into account"

Yeah I wouldn't call 48 young. Btw "4 score and 10" is still basically how the French say 90.
> Yeah I wouldn't call 48 young I read this as sarcastic/self-deprecating humor
I meant one. I'm one score and eight.
