A couple of the unicode characters on that page don't render in Firefox on Windows: * the character after "Choose Day" * the character before "About" I know character isn't the right word for unicode. What is? Code point?
Those are Emojis

#12I never try these todo/organizing apps that are just another burden, but this seems different. The fact that it has no accounts its simplicity feels very good. I'll use it.
I like the simplicity as well, but not being able to use tab is a tough habit for me to break. That alone will probably keep me using my current application.

#13Love it. I'd like to see something like this with markdown capabilities.
Why? Is markdown so important for you to take some notes?
Markdown support means that I already know how to use it. I don't have to figure out what hotkey bolds text, underlines text, turns things into bullet points, etc.
How do I add links to this? Is it even possible? If it was markdown, I already know how to add a link, no extra thought required.

#14There is a clever and simple code snippet to convert a tab into a notepad: data:text/html, Copy and paste into your browser address bar. Just bookmark that and you have a notepad with content that you can italicize, embolden, print, export, etc. I'm sure someone here can tweak this code to be even more feature-rich yet still compact. Or check the comments from the original web page. This snippet was shared a while ag…
Either FF or Noscript disables that for me in Firefox. Works in Chrome though.

Character is fine when talking about Unicode. As in: “That character at code point U+1F918 is not showing up as a proper glyph for me.”
You might be thinking of how a single Unicode character does not necessarily map to a single byte in UTF-8 (the most common Unicode encoding). Some programming languages call a single byte variable a char or character; is that what you are referring to?
Incidentally, the U+1F918 before 'about' is not available as a glyph on my system — i.e., I don't have a font installed that has it. The creator probably uses a Mac (as evidenced by his exclusive use of ⌘).

What version of FF? On FF 44 this code works with the following warning in the console:
The character encoding of the HTML document was not declared. The document will render with garbled text in some browser configurations if the document contains characters from outside the US-ASCII range. The character encoding of the page must be declared in the document or in the transfer protocol.

#17Very nice, love the simplicity. Full syncing is going to be key though.
The biggest "complaint" I have after 5 mins is having a quick way to jump to a new line at the bottom. You wouldn't want to override the default of the omnibar having focus, but a simple keyboard shortcut would be nice. Currently it seems I need to tab down into the page, but then that still leaves my cursor at the beginning of the document.

This works great in Safari for Mac and iOS. Thank you very much for filling a void in my work flow.

#19Shamelesly plugging one my apps here, very identically: save your thoughts or a todo list without installation of any extension or signups >> http://www.doit.eddywebs.com/
When you come back on same browser it remembers everything.

I have something similar bookmarked though I can't remember the original author. I've been using it for a while as quick note taking app and it works wonderfully. (tested on chrome)
javascript:(function(d){d.write('');var k = 'c'; var q = d.querySelector('body');q.innerHTML=localStorage[k];q.oninput=function(){localStorage[k]=q.innerHTML;}})(document);
