Or go contentless via CSS triangles: http://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/css-triangle/
Huh, I didn't know Arc was that good at Unicode. It even renders the flip table emoticon.
Alternatively it doesn't care at all. I mean, it may not even try to check the incoming encoding or do anything with it and you'd still get the right result if your browser behaves in a sane way (that is sends utf form contents to this site). It's just some bytes after all. But I don't know the arc internals - does it do anything interesting with unicode?

How are they not logical opposites? Isn't an upvote exactly the opposite of a downvote?
Upvote = I like this. Downvote = This is noise/off-topic/abusive. Thats the way it should work, and is part of what makes HN different to say Reddit. In reality, its becoming increasingly common for people to downvote something simply because they disagree with it.

I also zoom in to 125%, not sure if it's just me, but for a textual site the default font size seems too small. Maybe my eyes are just giving up. Out of curiosity, I was wondering why the triangle wasn't a CSS triangle.. wouldn't that be more efficient than a gif?
Not necessarily. The gif is requested once and cached, and then rendered once and cached. The CSS triangle would get rendered over and over again.
(If I have misunderstood some step of the rendering process, I would love to know how, or what. I don't know much about graphics processing, so I am unaware of any caches beyond what the browser maintains.)

I've hit "flag" when I meant to hit the story. I've hit the story when I meant to hit the comments. We need a HN hosted CSS layout for mobile users. This site is pretty simple, how complicated could a mobile CSS file be?
Very good proposal. There are more unicode symbols to choice from: http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/geometric_shapes.html Down arrow/triangle: ▼ It is not only matter of resolution but I personally like bigger fonts and have zoomed in HN so triangles look bad: http://i.imgur.com/fpA7N.png
