The are quite a lot of "gotchas" with passwords being Unicode though. One of my favourite tricks is to include a null byte in passwords and see what happens. Sudo treats it as the end of the string. Passwd gives "token manipulation error" and nopes out. Many websites seem to fail in interesting ways...

I wouldn't call that "being Unicode" though, since null byte is in ASCII.

It depends on the encoding: In UTF-16, a lot of characters have 0x00 as part of their encoding. That's the null byte, even if the software isn't technically supposed to see it that way, so it's a valid test. (Easy, too: Any character that's also in ASCII will be represented with a 0x00 byte in UTF-16.) Of course, UTF-8 solves that problem, plus the problem of surrogate pairs.

This is a beautiful website with awesome anime-style cartoon formatting. The palette is really nice, well-selected too.

Sadly, the writing style interpersed with the cartoon dialogues is so insufferable and distracting that I learned absolutely nothing. My ADHD didn't help either.

ASCII text would be less accurate I'm afraid. I'm open to suggestions!

HN is basic-multilingual-plane-obsessive by design. As a bonus it rolls off the tongue nicely.

Except it strips some characters in the BMP, too, such as U+262D

Some people probably hate it, but I really enjoy the conversational format of these posts. Very novel and interesting way to bounce around a topic

Fun style to read, but without knowing what level of sarcasm I'm supposed to assign to the peanut gallery characters (or to the main author voice), I'm left wondering whether there is a point beyond "sudo should be written in Rust?"

I invited them to view content less triggering to them. I’d link some directly but I’m on mobile so that’s a lot of bother for someone who probably isn’t looking in good faith, and well… their search engine is either the same as mine or functionally equivalent.

The damage is done, they are alas, already triggered.

I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt that you mean this in good faith, even though I don’t think you do. What is the damage, and how doesn’t the site owner explaining how to consume their site without furries address it?

For anyone wondering, this is basically a young millennial / gen z meme. The emoji is usually pronounced "pwease", as in a childlike pronunciation of "please" Therefore the command is basically just asking very nicely, hoping to get one's way edit. source: dude just trust me

Alternatively, a good chunk of my twitter feed would call this the bottom emoji, without attempting to give it a pronunciation. I don't think any particular pronunciation has consensus, but various groups of people imbue it different meanings.

Yeah, I don’t think I’m going to be calling it that in the morning standups.

Now you have two problems

Please explain. I have deployed them successfully at both large and small companies without any significant issues

“ has no pronounceable name in English or any other speakable human language.” I’m in love with this because it’s so silly. I’ve always wondered what would happen if you gave a company an unpronounceable name and it took off. My guess is that the community would name it and that would be that. But I’m fascinated to witness that process happen. I really hope Sado takes off. ;)

If there's a 1:1 mapping from some emoji to one of the basic Chinese logograms, we should just reuse the pronunciation of the latter as the name of the emoji. This one could be "qiu", for example.

The wechat shortcode for their similar face is 可怜.

As far as I know, it is not used for begging (and therefore couldn't be called 求); the one time it was used to me, it seemed to express something more like "ouch!".
