I love RSS but what I love more than RSS are people who blog about stuff: high concept stuff, day-to-day stuff and just what they did yesterday. I wish people would blog more like in the old days.
HN renders emojis in color?! I’m reading that on an iPad and see a red heart. That’s a first
seeing an emoji in a title on HN really surprised me, I didn’t even know you could do that. Shows how much emotion we use on here lol.
https://pico.sh/feeds is an ssh app that is an rss-to-email service.

Pardon the dust. There's an app tie-in that I'm almost done with too, a widget-first app that shows your RSS feed collections on your phone's home screen. It would really be great if we could start to bring about an RSS renaissance!
And so I wish people would stop calling feeds RSS, because it continues to compound the problem. Let RSS die! More than once I’ve seen people implement RSS feeds, at great pain and often with errors, simply because they hadn’t heard of Atom.
(I still need to decide which spec I hate more, RSS or OpenGraph. Hmm… RSS had more excuses for being bad, OpenGraph was just a spectacularly bad thing thrown over the wall by a company that should have known better. I drafted something examining how comprehensively bad it was some years ago, I should put it onto my new site and continue it at some point.)
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I only have a fairly basic understanding of encodings, but is this one by any chance in one of the smaller “standard” character sets and not in the huge Unicode “emoji” set?
yes, exactly: ♠♡♢♣♤♥♦♧
Chess pieces too. I think you could technically play a chess game here pretty easily if you were so inclined.

It is not an emoji but a unicode character and HN doesn't render it, your OS does.
